Title:
Wireless is disabled by hardware switch
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 (Amd64) in my computer. I updated my
system today to ensure that i have the latest software. The problem is
that I get an error in nm-applet that says "Wireless is disabled by
hardware switch", this happened after I used the hardware switch to
turn my wi-fi off because i was going to share my smartphone's 3g
connection using the usb cable. After this, i turned my computer off,
and now that i want to use my wireless i can't, it doesn't matter how
many times i restart my computer, it doesn't work.
In the terminal, when I try to do an "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", it
shows me an error that says:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
This must be some bug of my wireless card driver, but i don't know
which package contains it.
