[Bug 1633907] [NEW] wireless-indicator disappeared during upgrade

[themusicgod1]

Public bug reported:

Upon upgrading from 16.04 (xenial) to 16.10 (yakkety), at some point (it
was difficult to tell at what point, since due to another bug with the
system fonts(?) the system fonts were unreadable blocks.  That issue
went away), after the packages were mostly installed, the wireless
network indicator in gnome disappeared, and my connection to the
internet was lost.  Attempting to get a connection via wicd-curses
resulted in -

ERROR:connection_factory_impl.cc(369)  Failed to connect to MCS endpoint
with error -137 errors when an attempt was made to get an IP address.

Network connection: wlan0

                resources: irq:17 memory:d3500000-d357ffff memory:d3580000-d358ffff

Occasionally before the upgrade, this system would lose the ability to
connect to wireless and it would fail at the 'getting an ip address'
step of connecting in wicd-curses (and would time out if an attempt was
made to connect via gnome's wireless settings), but in this case the
wireless network indicator itself went away, as if there was no wireless
installed at all.

Rebooting system post-install -> worked just fine, wireless indicator
was there upon login again as usual.
