I think I may have found the cause of my problems with connecting to wifi in Ubuntu 11.10.
I type this in Terminal:
$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
$ rfkill unblock all
$
If I am correct I must unblock all of those "yes", right? But nothing happens when I try to unblock. Am I typing the wrong command?
Typing sudo modprobe -r acer_wmi
seem to have added another problem, now I can't even try to click on the "Enable wireless"-button as it has been grayed out and 1: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
does not show anymore in the rfkill
list. Does anyone have any idea how to fix that?
EDIT: I rebooted and now it is not grayed out anymore and the rfkill list all
shows as:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
The 0 is not Hard blocked anymore, but I guess 1: acer-wireless
needs to be put off soft blocked somehow.
