ifconfig and iwconfig turn up nothing new; it looks normal enough.
You had earlier stated that "network-aware programs cannot recognize
wlan0". What appears in ifconfig and iwconfig?

I've already tried these; I used these commands all the time, especially
iwconfig.

Note that I disable ipv6, so I'm curious if it has somehow got re-enabled.

eth0 no wireless extensions.
But when I look at network configuration in other places (for instance, in
Trinity Control Center), no network connections at all are supposed to be
enabled.
