Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
This is on Gutsy Gibbon.
Right-clicking on NetworkManager icon and unchecking Enable Wireless or Enable Networking has no effect.
There are situations where I would like to turn off wireless.
Also, in Dapper Drake disabling and enablling wireless was often enough to fix a connection problem, but now this can not be done. I need to kill -9 NetworkManager and restart it to get wireless working.
I've written about my system here: http://
