Have you tried solution from post #15?

I Will try #15 but how do you save ?

Just something about wireless. I had similar problem with Ubuntu 10.10 and one PC with Wireless which worked fine till restart. I found this way to get it back.

Code:

Alt+F2 (keyboard combination to start Run)

Then type

Code:

nm-applet

Somehow it stopped starting on start and it should work for 11.4 unless they changed something.

You de-blacklist an item in the file, and save it. You probably need to be under sudo (gksudo) to be able to save.
