Using Kubuntu 14.04 32 bit.
The wifi indicator not showing, led too. kinfo center says it's a PCI Intel 2915ABG. Ping from other devices gets an answer. Now here's the weird part: If I disconnect the ether port cable, I don't get the wireless mode to even show in the network manager, and no option to join the local wifi service. Both modes or no modes. Also the Bluetooth comes on or off when I press FN & F2, but no wifi. I haven't used this computer for a couple months, but was needing it again and now this problem.
