I have a laptop toshiba M645-S4112 (PSMPBU-07C01S). The wire red works fine, but the wireless (wifi) red does not works. I have a Kubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.16.0-30-generic.

  • The wireless switch or key combination is set to turn off the wireless. Please turn it on.

  • Hi Jeremy31, it's 3.16.0-30-generic . Also for uname -ar I get: Linux casiopea 3.16.0-30-generic #40~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 15 17:43:14 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

I have a M645 and the second button to the right of the power button that will toggle the rfkill hard block

Toshiba M645 keyboard

This switch works in 3.13,3.16, 3.19, and 4.2

It seems to be broken in 4.4 but it works now in 4.4.0-38

  • Yes, this is the model of my laptop. Then, the wireless is not functional in ubuntu?

  • It should work with your kernel, press the button that looks like ((((i)))) and wait a second or two, then check rfkill list all

  • Thnak Jeremy31, apparently that was the problem.

If iwconfig shows wlan0 so I suppose that the wireless is detected.

ifconfig show only the actives connections. If you want to see them all ifconfig -a

Maybe you just need to activate it with ifconfig wlan0 up

  • Dear monitor35, thank for your comment. I edit my anwer adding your point. When I do ifconfig wlan0 up, the result is: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operación imposible por estar la radiofrecuencia desactivada. I appreciate any suggestions
