Running 'ifconfig wlan0 up' gives: 'wlan: ERROR while getting interface
flags: no such device'. Examining dmesg after this does not give any
output concerning wlan. Let me know if you need some more logging
messages and, if so, where I can find it.

I tried to set-up a connection with network-admin, but there is no
'Connections' tabulator.

I attach the output of /proc/net/dev here.
