This is not invented by me, but credited to answers from others in the web. Thanks to them. Initial problem: Bought new Sony Vaio E Series. Installing using CD, Ubuntu 12.04. During installation wireless worked. After reboot NO!. Can not enable wireless. I found there: rfkill list all rfkill unblock all rfkill list all, works, and show: soft blocking in 'acer-wireless: Wireless LAN, soft blocked: yes' rfkill unblock all does not manage to change. After another rfkill list all, same status remains. Then I learned from How to unblock something listed in rfkill?. Thanks, Leckensteyn. sudo modprobe -r acer_wmi It works. Wireless Networks works 'normal' as it should be. Thanks everybody. Regards, Toni Ridwan |
