https://bbs.archlinux.org – I might have a slightly different problem actually.  rfkill list all shows Wireless LAN both soft and hard unblocked.  Also, Wicd sees the network, and I'm able to connect, but can't get any internet traffic.  How could I see internet, connect to my wireless network, but not be able to get any data?PS:  ethernet does the same thing.  I can connect, but can't get any data from the web.I've tried toggling wlan0 using "ip link set wlan0" down, then back up. Drivers look to be in order.It started after the update this weekend.Any ideas?MJ (HowTos)

My wireless basically just quit on me in v10.04. I saw there was a 10.10, so I downloaded it hoping that it would fix my problem.

I have a Dell inspiron 1564, the wireless is enabled according to the network manager, when I type "rfkill list" into terminal it says wireless is

hard blocked: no soft blocked: yes

My wifi card is a broadcom BCM4312...

Hello, I'm having this irritating problem and cannot connect to wireless connection This is the error i get when i use the code :# sudo ip link set wlan0 upRTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-killthen i looked up the internet and tried a solution to set the hard block in the rfkill list to no and this is how i did it:# sudo rmmod -f ath5k# sudo rfkill unblock all# sudo modprob

My wireless card in my Acer Aspire 7551G shows wireless networks in range but wont connect to any of them. I am running an Atheros AR928x Wireless network card (windows reports it as a AR5b93). Also as a side note, whenever i turn on my computer, my wireless is disabled.

Hi. I'm using crunchbang since a few months ago. I love the usability and minimalism of it. The only problem I have is with the wireless card. lspci -nn | grep Network01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)The wireless works, but suddenly is disconnected :S with no possibility to connect again.

After upgrading to 11.04, I have found that I can not select "Enable Wireless" because "wireless is disabled by hardware switch". There is a hardware switch for the wireless but playing with that seems to do nothing.

lspci says I have an Atheros Communications Inc.

Ok so the basic issue here is this: My wireless has not once enabled through many environments.

Wubi install: Enable wireless greyed out Live cd: greyed out Partition alongside win7: greyed out.

I installed all software updates, checked additional drivers, installed the latest driver for RTL8111/8168B.

rfkill list shows phy0 and phy1.

Phy0 has a hardblock on. everything else is unblocked.

I just upgraded to 12.10 on my Lenovo B570 laptop. NetworkManager isn't displaying a submenu for wireless connections at all, even though I downloaded the update through the wireless connection.

I am running Ubuntu 64 bit 12.04 3.2.0-37-generic. My wireless is not working.

rfkill list all 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes 1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no

I tried running rfkill unblock all.

A couple days after Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my HP CQ60-116TX, wireless network suddenly stopped working, it is said that also happened after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10. Fortunately, I got the problem fixed after a few minutes’ searching.
