I created a NetVM and attached my WIFI card to it, worked great and I connected to the network. Later killed the VM and restarted (restarted the computer actually) - no go. Even though "lspci" shows the card still attached and available, the WiFI Network connect widget says no network devices available.

Thoughts?

Figure it out, documented here for others.

The problem is for whatever reason the kernel module for my card (Intel laptop WIFI) wasn't being properly probed for and loaded. So I added the following line to /rw/config/rc.local and made the file executable

cp /rw/config/iwlwifi-net.conf /etc/modules-load.d

and made the file named above with the name of my module inside of it.
