I've seen it act like that recently, after waking this laptop from sleep (I managed to go 30 days until last week just sleeping it and not rebooting... lovely). I found you can coax it to connect (after the stop ; modprobe -r ; modprobe; sleep 2s ; start rigmarole) so long as it says "no wireless networks found" or similar by filling in the details on "Connect to Other Wireless Network" with your AP SSID and keys. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
