Hi karl.

It happens to me once in my Vaio, all i did was completely remove
network-manager and check if all drivers are in order ( they probably are ),
and reinstall network-manager.

It worked for me hope it does for you...

OH and the red light is a recognicion problem, it doesn't matter at all, my
vaio was with the light always off.
