I'm using dell with Ubuntu 12.04.
As soon as I connect ethernet, wireless gets disabled and network manager shows Wireless is disabled by hardware switch
and, that status will go away after I unplug ethernet cable.
This is my rfkill list before connecting to ethernet.
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
And this one is my rfkill list after connecting to ethernet.
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
lspci Result for controllers:
Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 04)
Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34)
I'm trying to create a hotspot with ethernet (which worked perfectly well with ppp0) and I couldn't do that with current problem:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
- What do I need to do, to solve that "hardware switch" problem?
