Roger K. Wells,
On my older Think Pad I had a similar problem with devices, such as WLAN
and Bluetooth, shutting off and not showing up in Linux for no apparent
reason. Every so often I would have to ensure that the BIOS settings had
the device enabled, that other Operating Systems on the computer didn't
have the device disabled, and that I didn't accidentally hit the
physical switch on the computer disabling the device. I found that most
times the other operating system (Windows XP at the time) had the device
disabled for an unknown reason and that re-enabling the device in the
other operating system allowed the device to properly operate in Linux.
