My wireless card is hard blocked in any linux distro I install but there is no physical switch on netbook or on wifi card itself...I runned following commands :
inxi -N :
Network: Card-1: Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) driver: ath9k
Card-2: Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller driver: r8169
sudo rfkill list:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
any suggestions??
sudo lshw -class network
to your question. Also look under the battery compartments - sometimes there is a slider, pushbutton there hidden away for wireless stuff.
