I've upgraded to ubuntu 16 , then I've a problem with wifi as it doesn't work and gives me message "device not ready" when it try to make the dev up

$sudo ip link set wlo1 up
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

the device with blocked, so I unblock it, then I received a different message

$sudo rfkill unblock wifi 
sudo ip link set wlo1 up
RTNETLINK answers: Input/output error

i found that there is a problem with loading module rt2800pci and the output of dmesg contains that error

  • Does sudo service network-manager restart solved your problem, if not could you give output for sudo lshw -class network command Oct 31, 2016 at 15:55
