No windows near me in any machine. :)

 

Sure seems like a hardware failure.

I'm starting to think that also. But today this notebook is so weird, I don't know. I'm still puzzled. Maybe something debian-related, you know. These Debian Jessie 8.0 and 8.1 are a bit unstable to my taste. I hope we move on soon to 8.2.(*) 

 

oh- one other thing to try.  boot up into BIOS and see if there's anything at all in there about your WLAN hardware.

Earlier today I picked at BIOS to see if there was something there I could change. The only reference to network there is to select where to boot from.

 

But I'll double check to be sure.

PS. Or Debian Stretch, see my ascii-art for it (in monospaced font, please):
