Hi again,

After few updates and reboots, I noticed Wifi started to see Access
Point and started to work again. I am not sure what update could fix the
issue.

I really do not see what could have cause Wifi not to work between April
28th update and today (May 8th).

Title:
  no wifi after software update on Dell Latitude D630

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Just after software update tonight, computer lost Wifi connection and
  was not seeing any Wifi Access Point.

  --> I rebooted computer. Usually Wifi is always ON after reboot, it
  was OFF. I switch it to ON, but this did not help.

  --> I completely shutdown computer and switch on again. I find again
  after startup, Wifi is switched to OFF. I switch to ON again but
  computer can not see any Wifi Access Points.

  I checked the software update log but could not find any package
  related to Wifi / network manager :

  I could not find what was the package which caused this regression so
  can could not revert it.

  So until I get a fix, my wifi will not be working ...

  What is the full computer model number (ex. HP G32-301TX Notebook PC)?
  --> Laptop Dell Latitude D630 model PP18L

  sudo iw dev wlan0 scan | grep -i "ds parameter set"
  [sudo] password for remi:
  command failed: Network is down (-100)

  even if "Enable Networking" is ON and LAN/Ethernet connection works.
