I found if I entered:

$ nmcli r

I got something like: (I couldn't get a screenshot... a different bug)

WIFI-HW  WIFI     WWAN-HW  WWAN
enabled  off      enabled  enabled

Which obviously seemed wrong, a bit more poking with the 'help' function of nmcli and I found I could switch 'WIFI' to enabled by:

$ nmcli r wifi on

and now the the output of 'nmcli r' is:

WIFI-HW  WIFI     WWAN-HW  WWAN
enabled  enabled  enabled  enabled

Then wifi worked fine, has persisted through reboots, and is still fine a few hours later. What remains unexplained is why wifi worked (I got a list of visible networks) before failing.

Similar behaviour here.

WiFi stopped working the first time I tried to connect to a network with WPA Enterprise security, and didn't work from then on, even when I restarted. Not sure if the WPA Enterprise part is a coincidence.

I saw "disabled" where your post shows "off" in the output of nmcli r. nmcli r wifi on got it working again. Thanks!
