With a recent update on my Ubuntu 12.10 laptop, wireless connection is
no longer working with NetworkManager. It is working when using
wpa_supplicant directly. The nm-applet indicates 'device not ready'
for the Wireless Networks. Attached is the syslog upon inserting the
wireless driver module, which is brcmsmac. Not sure if the state
change below correlates to the nm-applet status.

NetworkManager[1121]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: unmanaged
-> unavailable (reason 'managed') [10 20 2]

Regards,
Arend van Spriel

'unavailable' could mean a couple things:

1) supplicant isn't running or can't be contacted via D-Bus
2) rfkill is blocking wifi
3) the driver returned ENOENT in response to the dev_open() call,
indicating that it does not have any firmware available

The logs you've posted don't look complete; do you get *anything* else
shown?  You can also:

killall -TERM NetworkManager
NetworkManager --no-daemon --log-level=debug

to get more information.

Let me know,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for explaining. 1) seems to be the issue. 'ps -ae | grep wpa' did 
not return anything. I decided to remove and install wpa_supplicant. 
Sometimes the helpdesk approach works ;-)
