Hello,
I just ran an update (sudo apt dist-upgrade) on my Gateway laptop. It seemed to be fine. Then I rebooted and now I have no network. There is no network icon in the systray, but it is active in the Startup Applications.
I ran lspci | grep -iE "ethernet|network|wireless|lan" and it gives no response.
I ran inxi -Fxz | grep -iE "card|driver|if" and got
Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 500 driver: i915 v: kernel Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.13 driver: modesetting driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 00:0e.0 driver: snd-usb-audio, uvcvideo bus ID: 1-8:5 driver: btusb, rtl8xxxu bus ID 1-7:4 IF:wixd4d2d6b049ca state: up mac: <filter>
It doesn't look like it sees the network driver (it was fine before the update).

Don't suppose you have an on/off switch for wifi and accidentally turned it off?
It's weird the icon isnt in systray. You know systray things can hide with that < symbol? You could try running nm-applet from terminal. Even if its not in systray you can still run adanced network config from menu tho.

Thanks, enigma9o7 I had forgotten the nm-applet command. Curiously, that restored my network connection BUT not the icon! Weird, right? Also, the download bandwidth is about 20% of what it should be.

[UPDATE] I did another update/upgrade and now it's back to normal (you know, for a GATEWAY). I still don't know what happened there.
