Hi Larry,

Are you using a Dell laptop? A recent kernel change broke the WMI support to some dell hardware. If it's your case, try blacklisting dell-laptop modules and reseting your machine.

I am running openSUSE 11.4 with NetworkManager 0.8.2 and knetworkmanager 0.9. Usually everything works fine, but under some circumstances that are not understood, wireless is disabled. It is not blocked by a radio-kill switch, as 'rfkill list' shows

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
       Soft blocked: no
       Hard blocked: no

Similarly, I see no reason for the block in /var/log/NetworkManager. For completeness, 'nmcli nm' shows

RUNNING  STATE           WIFI-HARDWARE   WIFI       WWAN-HARDWARE   WWAN
running  disconnected    enabled         disabled   enabled         enabled

Are there any other commands that might tell me where the problem is occurring? Switching from knetworkmanager to the plasmoid networkmanager package clears the problem, but I would like to understand the problem.

Thanks,

Larry
