Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Problem in most cases is result of. failure in suspend/hibernate. After such knetworkmanager says "network management is disabled", wlan0 interface has txpower set to off, can't change.Problem is in /var/lib/
[main]
NetworkingEnabl
WirelessEnabled
WWANEnabled=false
if I change manually WirelessEnabled to true and restart network-manager it reverts to false.
Even if I manually stop /etc/init.
I don't have idea what keeps those settings, but for me it is a bug, reenabling should be as easy as clicking enable in knetworkmanager plasma applet or better autodetect if there was suspend/resume failure to revert those settings during boot.

This bug has made my laptop pretty much useless. How is it that something of this severity does not have a super-high priority? WTF?
