UBUNTU EASY INSTALL 1.1: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu...53334814714818
excellent, that worked for me too:
sudo rmmod -f dell-laptop
rfkill was showing that I had a Hardware switch off, but the hardware switch (Fn+F2) wasn't working until I disabled dell-laptop.
Thanks Chili!
Hi guys,
Just installed 11.04 this afternoon on an old HP laptop, same issue, I will try that command you tried for Dell to see if it works on HP, otherwise, I will reinstall 10
Here is a simple solution that *did* work for me on HP with Broadcom
as root:
1. modprobe broadcom
2. rfkill block all
3. rfkill unblock all
my wireless connection is now working fine again

I faced a similar problem of an abrupt wireless disconnection on a Dell XPS 15 which I bought a couple of days back and as suggested did :
rmmod -f dell-laptop
sudo rfkill unblock
This did not fix the problem, but a simple <fn>-F2 (the hardware switch for the laptop) brought back the wireless.
Since dell-laptop was not at fault in my case, I would like to add it back. However, I do not know how to do this and could not get any clear answer from googling the web.
Would greatly appreciate if someone could shed some light on this. Though I have been an ubuntu user for 2-3 years, I am not at all familiar with the kernel and commands to manipulate it.
Thanks in anticipation.
