    It shows:

    0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
    1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

    Still no wireless. Only the wired is shown on the panel.

    It is NOT hard blocked!!! So it seems it certainly is related to the Broadcom driver. Now do:
    Code:
    sudo modprobe wl
    rfkill list all
    Now what is the report?

    Re: WIFI issues Broadcom

    It is pretty clearly an issue with the bcmwl-kernel-source driver. Without it, you are not blocked; with it, you are. Let's see what version you have:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -s bcmwl-kernel-source | grep -i version
    In 12.10, I have 5.100.82.112, the same as the latest on Broadcom's site. According to the README:
    ISSUES FIXED AND WHAT'S NEW IN RECENT RELEASES
    -------------------------------------------
    + Supports monitor mode
    + Supports cfg80211
    + Supports hidden networks
    + Supports rfkill
    We might try compiling the newest version.

    Hello, thank you for all your help, and sorry for not getting back earlier but the laptop was at service.
    It was a physical fault of the motherboard, and that had to be fixed.
    Thanks for all you tries and help.
    Very good community and help forum++++ !!!
