At comment #8 - my roommate's ThinkPad X60 has a *very* subtle wireless switch on its front lip, and I believe the X61s does as well. We toggled it so we saw the green bar and the hardware block that had been plaguing us disappeared.
Apologies if this isn't consistent with this thread! I wasn't sure if/where a ThinkPad one had opened up, and this was a crazy annoying problem. Wanted to share a possible solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523143 Title: Wireless RFKILL defaults to on (wireless off) and can't be turned off. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
