    :~$ sudo apt purge wicd

    Package 'wicd' is not installed, so not removed
    The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
     libzxcvbn0
    Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.

    What should I try now?

      Exactly what it tells you to do: sudo apt autoremove

      Then reboot, and in a Konsole run
      rfkill list
      and rerun the wirless-info script and post the output of both here. That way we can see what changes have been made by you and the software now that the blocking has been removed.

      Also, be sure that
      libkf5networkmanagerqt6
      libnm0
      plasma-nm
      are installed, and any dependencies, just to be sure all the necessary apps are installed.
      And,
      nm-tray
      if you want it.

          First, it shows that wicd is still installed:
          Installed: NetworkManager
          Wicd
          Secondly, the file: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
          contains:
          remove iwlwifi (/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) && /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211
          options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 bt_coex_active=N
          “options iwlwifi disable_msix=1”
          which is the same in my system. The comment in the file is:
          # iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the
          # microcode file installed on the system. When removing iwlwifi, first
          # remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi.
          modinfo iwlwifi
          shows that the current 18.04 iwlwifi kernel module (iwlwifi.ko) supports:
          firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode
          firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode
          Do
          lsmod | grep iwlwifi

          to see if the iwlwifi kernel module is loaded. IF it is NOT, then try
          sudo modprobe iwlwifi
          and then do
          ifconfig
          to see if it is listed. IF it is not, then
          sudo ifconfig iwlwifi up
          to bring it up. Then
          ifconfig
          should list it.
          iwconfig
          will also list it.
          If it is listed then NetworkManager can see it.

            OK, lsmod | grep iwlwifi does absolutely nothing.

            sudo modprobe iwlwifi returns

              I ended up creating a USB image of 18.04 on another computer, then using that to do a "clean" install, and everything seems to be working now.

              I really think they should not be including the ability to upgrade distributions anymore, just prompt people to do fresh installs...

              ETA: Thanks to everybody who responded and tried to help me out, I really appreciate it!

                They have worked fine for me for ages (9 in a row before the already old drive kicked the bucket) and I think that they work for most people.
                Then again, those were not LTS to LTS upgrades.

                I do believe the upgrade tool does suggest backing up data beforehand.
