I'm unable to connect to wifi on my Toshiba Satellite U200, even though the wireless card doesn't seem to be blocked:
$ rfkill list
0: Toshiba Bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
6: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Note: when I boot it is blocked, but doing:
modprobe -rfv iwl3945
rfkill unblock all
modprobe -v iwl3945
Unblocks it. The led doesn't get turned on. Using the hardware keys doesn't change anything.
The output of lshw is:
$ sudo lshw -C network
