    Qualcomm Atheros AR9485

    This is a fresh 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 install Wireless is disabled and when I try to click "Enable Wi-Fi" in the drop down menu, nothing happens. There does appear to be a problem with the bluetooth (as mentioned in the log). Would that affect things?

    Code:

    Re: Unable to enable wireless on fresh 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04

    For the wifi, try the keyboard combo FN+F? to see if the results of
    Code:
    rfkill list
    changes to soft blocked: no

    For the bluetooth, if you want it to work
    Code:
    echo "blacklist ath3k" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath3k.conf
    Code:
    gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
    and add
    Code:
    modprobe ath3k
    above the last line that needs to be
    Code:
    exit 0
    , then save, exit program, and reboot.

    Re: Unable to enable wireless on fresh 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04

    Thanks for getting back so quickly. Pressing the Wireless function key didn't work. I've made the other changes you suggested. This is the new log:

    Re: Unable to enable wireless on fresh 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04

    Try
    Code:
    sudo rfkill unblock all
    And if that doesn't enable wireless
    Code:
    sudo modprobe -r asus_nb_wmi
    Code:
    sudo rfkill unblock all

    Re: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485

    Hey jeremy31, it still isn't working, so I'm thinking there might have been a problem with the install. I think that I'll probably reinstall over the weekend. Maybe install 12.04 if the 14.04 reinstall doesn't work. Thanks for taking the time to provide an answer though!

    Before you reinstall I would copy and paste this command:
    Code:
    echo "blacklist acer-wmi" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    Reboot.
    Thanks

    That seemed to have done the trick! Thanks!
