Heya, I updated my laptop with a fresh install of 10.10 this morning. Everything seems to be working fine besides the wifi. I've browsed through this forum section and Google and tried some various solutions but I can't get it to work. I found some output requests so I'll begin by posting my outputs from those and hopefully someone can help me easier.
I can't enable wireless networking in the network manager since it's greyed out. I tried setting WirelessEnabled=true in /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state and then restart the network manager but that didn't change anything. I also tried wicd instead of NetworkManager -- no luck.Code:$ sudo lshw -C network *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 02 serial: -- size: 100MB/s capacity: 100MB/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list rom ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=full ip=192.168.0.109 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=100MB/s resources: irq:43 ioport:3000(size=256) memory:d3010000-d3010fff memory:d3000000-d300ffff memory:d3020000-d303ffff *-network DISABLED description: Wireless interface product: AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 logical name: wlan0 version: 01 serial: -- width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k driverversion=2.6.35-22-generic firmware=N/A latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg resources: irq:17 memory:d5100000-d510ffff $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill $ sudo rfkill list 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no $ sudo rfkill unblock all $ sudo rfkill list 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
I ran the following to see what happens when I press the wifi button on my laptop:
However, it's permanently glowing blue. The laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ70. Does anybody know how to solve this issue? I really appreciate any help I can get with this.Code:$ sudo rfkill event 1288606442.348538: idx 0 type 1 op 0 soft 1 hard 1 1288606442.348589: idx 1 type 1 op 0 soft 0 hard 0 1288606447.036105: idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 1 hard 0 1288606448.748096: idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 1 hard 1 1288606450.209440: idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 1 hard 0 1288606453.179616: idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 1 hard 1
