OK... I found this in my syslog: Oct 31 19:45:08 protoomega NetworkManager: <info> Found radio killswitch rfkill2 (at /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:0c:00.0/ieee80211/phy0/rfkill2) (driver <unknown>) Oct 31 19:45:08 protoomega NetworkManager: <info> Found radio killswitch rfkill0 (at /sys/devices/virtual/rfkill/rfkill0) (driver <unknown>) Oct 31 19:45:08 protoomega NetworkManager: <info> Wireless now disabled by radio killswitch
As these messages indicate, the notebook has a slightly hidden switch (at the side) to enable and disable WLAN - and it works perfectly with Ubuntu... (this is so very, very embarassing indeed ... ) So no problem here. Hopefully, some of the posted links will help nevertheless. -- intel pro/wireless 5100 AGN disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
