My wireless works, but I have to right click the network manager applet and enable wireless on every boot which is annoying.
This is the output of rfkill normally:
x@Triela:~$ rfkill list
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
When I rfkill block 0; rfkill block 1 this is what I get:
When I rfkill unblock all, it clears all but the soft block on 0. My wireless is switched on/off by fn + f3. The indicator light for it is lit when connected, and blinks when there is activity, but it does not show me the on/off state.
x@Triela:~$ rfkill list
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
I have tried everything I could find on the internet, but nothing has worked to unblock it or keep wireless enabled.
This is the output of my wifi card from lspci -v:
