And after the rfkill comand.... All the answers are 'no'
What do i do?
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG is your wireless card. If blacklisting didn't work then find an older version of the intel driver "3945ABG" and install it. Hope this helps.
I haven't tried blacklisting cos am not sure what procedure i have to follow completely.
Pls help
So here it is- the HP dv5020us laptop, complete with non functioning wireless router, it does not even look for a driver! Help!
At my prompt, I typed in this:
xxxx-Pavilion-dv5000-EP411UA-ABA:~$ lspci | grep work
and I got this
06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
What next?

I wrote a little tutorial on this issue on my blog, it did work perfectly well for me, maybe it can help someone here too
Mine says soft blocked no..... But still the wifi signal keeps dropping every few minutes.... sometimes every few seconds...
can there be a driver error?
Worked perfectly on my mother's Compaq-Mini-CQ10-400. Thank you so much.
The dropping of the wifi signal every few minutes is a classic sign of switching between two or more wireless drivers. You need to blacklist all wifi drivers that your not using and it should stop dropping the signal.
This really works. Thanks a lot!
Actually, Ubuntu 11.10 has no problem with the rt2860sta driver. It connects and works decently. But what I was doing is recompile the 3.0.0.16 kernel because I needed to patch it after buying Genius EasyPen i405X graphic tablet, which had pressure problem in the current kernel. I got pen to working but I lost connectivity with my rt3090sta wireless card.
Tried a lot of stuff but this solves the issue.
