wireless networks "device not ready"

[stevef]

Trying to diagnose what may be a kernel/driver/firmware issue can be protracted and complex under the best of circumstances and there is no guarantee of progress. Post 10 included a request for the results of these commands when booted from LL6 and when booted from LL7.

Code:

sudo lshw -C network

Code:

uname -r

Post 11 provided the results from a LL6 boot - thank you.
Post 12 included a request for the command results from a LL7 boot.
