Steve Langasek (vorlon) wrote : network-manager has decided that networking is disabled, cannot be re-enabled from lightdm

After a suspend/resume, network-manager claimed that wireless was not available and would not let me reconnect to the wireless here. 'iwlist wlan1 scan' would also not work; so thinking that it was a driver problem, I rebooted the system. When it came back up, nm-applet in lightdm claimed that networking was disabled, and the option to enable it was greyed out. It could also not be enabled by nmcli. I ended up stopping network-manager, bringing up the interface via /etc/network/interfaces, and logging in... at which point, restarting network-manager *did* let me enable networking from my logged-in session.

So there are several problems here:
 - after a reboot, network-manager claimed networking was disabled.
 - nm-applet is not letting me enable networking from the lightdm session.
 - the networking was failing after a suspend/resume cycle, and could not be enabled even from inside the user session.

The last issue probably *was* a kernel driver problem; but the first two issues are network-manager problems of some kind.
