It might be that the entire stack of related software was upgraded as well.
There seem to be a disconnect between WLAN state reported in Nickel and KSM!
I had luck with the following procedure: - enabling the WLAN in KSM,
- switching to Nickel with WLAN enabled,
- as Nickel reported WLAN disabled I had to enable it here as well;
- now I was able to scan networks, enter password and connect to the WLAN,
- at this point I switched back to KSM, and I found there my WLAN network stored in the manage networks' dialog;
- after the reboot the KSM reported WLAN enabled and
- I was able to connect to the WLAN from KSM (I did switch it off and on "with DHCP" once during testing so this might be required as well) but,
- after disabling the WLAN from within KSM and switching to Nickel, Nickel reported WLAN is still enabled and I had to switch it off there as well.

Thank you for the update. Unfortunataly, I am having a long working day (and a hard week). So I do not know whether I can play around with KSM this night. As for reporting, whether wifi is enabled or not, there is a difference between KSM and nickel.
KSM reports wifi as enabled if the related modules are loaded. Nickel, however, reports wifi as enabled if in the conf file, AIRPLANE_MODE is set to false (or if this is implied), or if you set wifi to on via the settings, but this does not say anything about whether the modules are loaded or not.
Are you sure about point 6? I do not expect wifi to be automatically enabled in KSM after reboot. Or did you mean that you were able to enable wifi in KSM at that point?
