Added repository and updated wlassistant as suggested. Rebooted. Wireless working; wlassistant shows active connection.
However, I cannot tell whether this is a result of the update. Most recently, my wireless access has worked again reliably at each and every reboot. I will disconnect now and then reconnect via wlassistant. Report back results. -- wireless assisant does not connect in edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/64841 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
