A very stupid advice --

Code:
ifconfig wlan0 up



Very unlikely to work.


Sometimes the most easiest things work. I had installed a new kernel, and afterwards the "switch off wlan" button on my laptop worked for the first time to switch wlan off, but not to switch it back on again, and I received the "unknown error 132" as stated in the first post. Simply pulling wlan up with ifconfig worked.
So easy that I didn't even think about it. Thanks :)

During my last two laptops I have experienced wlan not coming up for these reasons:

* error -132 has meant that rfkill is blocking the device
* i was indeed missing iwl-6000-ucode
* i had wpa_supplicant compiled +gnutls -ssl, this is now the second time where using gnutls "just does not work (tm)", first experience with that was trying to use curl against microsoft IIS

thanks all for working on it here though, the microcode pointer helped.
