Of course I did a reboot. Nothing changed. Now what?

I did both commands. Now what?

Can you tell me what I should do in command-format, please? :) sudo do this - sudo do that :)

Well I did exactly the same as you asked. The problem is the bluetooth adapter was not hard blocked when I switched the switch off. It was gone entirely :) . Check the rfkill list all before the...

Again I emphasize that I have tried a D-Link USB Wi-Fi stick and it didn't work for the same reason (hardware blocked). So do you think it's the driver that causes this problem?

I don't know if the problem is really with the hardware card. I used a D-Link USB Wi-Fi stick and it didn't work because it was hard blocked too. What do you think?

Didn't get that. I guess I am not skilled :) Do you have an easy way to do it?

Yes there is a switch. And we already tried this in previous replies.

There is nothing to tell that it was manufactured by HP or Dell or any other third party. I guess it's BenQ made. And yes, I tried to locate a newer bios but couldn't find any.

Well. Thanks again for the professional help :)
I tried all the above once. And nothing worked out. So, I repeated it all again and took the output and pasted it here in this reply. Please tell me...

Well. Yeah I tried. But it did not change. And neither gave me a deny message. It just silently failed. Check:

sofy@joybook:~$ sudo -i

Well. The result is 1 indeed but not for rfkill0, but for rfkill1, the wlan. I double checked by catting the type of each one of them.

I know this is like the millionth post of some wireless adapter that doesn't work, but I lost all hope in reading forums and answers that were meant to specific devices, with no general answer that...
