OK, when trying to connect to a projector (which turns out to have had a
broken vga cable), I did a Fn F2 by mistake which turns off the internal
minipci wireless card. Doing it again turned it turned it back on and
"iwlist wlan0 scan" works and nm immediately connected to the wireless
network. Problem solved.

I still don't know what happened to dispatcher but I guess it doesn't
matter.
