Wireless Network Unavailable

[Guest]

I am having a Wireless network issue.

First let me tell you all how I got there. I was running Kubuntu 14.10 before doing an upgrade to the latest version, which was supposed 15.10. For some apparent reason though, I unintentionally upgraded past 15.10 to 16.04. I am fine with this, even though that it is still in development.

All is great but one slight problem. Before the upgrade, in the plasma-nm gui, there was an option to enable/disable the Wireless network and airplane mode in the upper portion (an example shown below, *not my image*)


However with this update, the gui does not even show the wireless network option. All that it shows is the airplane mode. I can use the laptop just fine by using cable, but I would prefer to have the ability to use my wireless card. I have tried updating the network-manager and plasma-nm services, but all are completely updated. All updates are current. I have deleted all my wireless network connections from the list to make sure.

Info:

Version: Xenial Xerus (development branch) 16.04
Wireless Network Card: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
Laptop's Wifi switch is turned on
Status (from nmcli g)

STATE	CONNECTIVITY	WIFI-HW	WIFI	WWAN-HW	WWAN
connected	full	enabled	enabled	enabled	disabled

As it is a version that is in development, you can expect it to be buggy and unfinished, otherwise they would call it the final version.
I guess it will solve itself within a few weeks when the developpers get to the network part finetuning part of the distro.
