I don't know if it helps but if the hotkey is connected to a script (such as /etc/acpi/wireless.sh) this problem could easilly be resolved by adding those lines
# line to pseudo disable wireless in network-manager dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.setWirelessEnabled boolean:false # line to enable wireless dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.setWirelessEnabled boolean:true using those lines whenever I hit the hotkey to enable wireless, the connection is brought up again (if I was previously connected). Unfortunately network manger (or at least the gnome applet, I don't know) doesn't understand that the card is off and it continues to show every wireless network that was in the range of you, before you used the hotkey to deactivate the card. -- Doesn't reconnect when wireless disabled/re-enabled using kill switch https://launchpad.net/bugs/20667 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
