I was going to start a new thread but this is the exact problem I'm having. I've followed these instructions:
However I'm still not getting wifi.
When I runI get the following:Code:dmesg | grep b43 rfkill list all
I've tried using the fn + F2 key combo to turn on the wifi but that doesn't seem to do anything.Code:0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes

Well, we probably will need to end up removing all the b43 module stuff, since b43 in used only for Broadcom devices. The Intel versions are usually a part of the kernel and work without additional effort. We probably should wait for Dr. Chili to return and see if he wants to remove the dell-laptop module just to see the effect. He is the expert and monitors all his old threads, so it will just be a matter of time. If he does not return, we will probably go ahead, but it would be in your best interest to wait a bit.Code:03:03.0 Network controller [280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection [8086:4220] (rev 05)
Please do:If b43 is in there, remove it. If there are multiple listings, remove all of the b43s. Next do:Code:sudo gedit /etc/modulesDoes your wireless work now? If so, we'll blacklist dell-laptop.Code:sudo modprobe -r dell-laptop sudo rfkill unblock all

Contains some commented out lines of code then the only thing that's uncommented is the letters lp
Ran the other two commands but nothing changed.
I should have mentioned (as I didn't realize this was an older thread) it's the latest LTS I'm trying this with (12.4.1)
Please run:Code:sudo rfkill unblock all rfkill list all sudo iwlist eth1 scanPerfect!Contains some commented out lines of code then the only thing that's uncommented is the letters lp

It looks like there is a hardware switch that has your wireless turned off. Can you please find it and switch it on?0: phy0: Wireless LAN
