After closing the lid on my P72 laptop last week and moving it to the 
livig room, I could not resume F32 when I raised the lid. I had to hard 
power cycle it, and after bootup I was unable to connect to my WiFi 
router. The router is fine, and WiFi works fine in the dual-booted 
Windows 10. But I can't figure out how to kick start my WiFi connection. 
I have restarted the P72 multiple times, with no success. The copper 
Ethernet connection works fine.

Any suggestions how to kickstart it? When I try ifup I get this:

# ifup ATTxxxxxxxx

Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this 
connection (device lo not available because device is strictly unmanaged).

What is the output of "nmcli c" and "rfkill list"?
