I couldn't be more wrong.
It turned out I couldn't get a wifi connection, because bluetooth was disabled using that small GNOME Bluetooth indicator. While bluetooth was disabled, my wifi card was able to list networks and NetworkManager could try connecting to one, however, it never succeeded. dmesg spit out some messages like "
direct probe to (access point MAC address) timed out" and after some time even "iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.".Thanks to Zander Hill's comment in my bug report #663298, I found out that by enabling bluetooth, I could connect to wifi networks again with no problems.
So if You ever run into connectivity problems, feel free to try out everything completely unrelated to Your wifi card just to be sure.

AntwortenLöschenI will look into this on the weekend. I just found out how to react to ACPI events, maybe there is something I can do with that.
There will also be an article on how to automatically change the CPU frequency depending on wether the power supply is plugged in or not.
Success! I found a way to rotate the screen automatically. The guide is in my new post:
