Bug Description
On the inspiron 1122, wireless is being a bit weird... (it's enabled, but no APs are showing in the networking indicator menu).
And when checkbox tries running network_info_wlan0, instead of failing or exiting gracefully, it's leaving a traceback and the network_info script is crashing:
Please verify the following information for NIC wlan0?
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is failing trying to read the file /sys/class/
Would it be possible to see what sort of output this produces, run as a normal user (not root)?
cat /sys/class/
Also, to keep this from happening again, either the _read_file method or those calling it (there are 3 other methods doing so) should gracefully handle exceptions.
Setting as triaged as we know the kind of work that needs to be done to at least handling troublesome files gracefully, still it'll be interesting to see what the cat command actually yields.
