My rfkill list changed after a reboot, it now has this before the wifi button press:and this after:Code:0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yesCode:0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes
Hello,
I have same problem for example with Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L1300 (Wireless interface ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] and p54pci driver module)
After reboot wireless works, if I press Fn-F1 (radio off) wireless shuts down correctly.
press Fn-F1 again, antenna led lights up but RFKILL stays and interface stays down.
sudo rmmod p54pci
sudo modprobe p54pci
and wireless comes alive.
Hope this gives some clue to some one who knows better what is going on..
Cheers, Esa

This didn't work for me, but gave me a hint how to solve by reading the rfkill documentation.
You can simply type: rfkill unblock wifi.
If it still doesn't do it for you, I've written up a detailed description here: http://www.geekmind.net/2011/01/linu...sible-due.html
I had this same problem on a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 today.
I wouldn't get any internet and when I right clicked the network icon "Enable Wireless" was disabled.
this is what I did:
and id get the error above. So did a search on RF-killCode:$sudo ifconfig wlan0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
and got this ouput, it seemed liked I was being blocked ?Code:sudo rfkill list all 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no
do this next this should fix the soft blocked
nextCode:rfkill unblock wifi
if you see this then your good, do the followingCode:sudo rfkill list all 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
-*replace wlan0 with your deviceCode:sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
cheers
I have hp dv2000t and I tried pretty much everything listed here, but to no avail.
Following command worked for me -
rfkill unblock wifi

I just helped someone on an HP laptop with this problem. It turns out that for whatever reason, hp-wmi was not loaded by default. After loading the module with 'sudo modprobe hp-wmi', it worked. Make it persistent by adding hp-wmi to /etc/modules. Hope this helps someone. Cheers.
