Today I decided to set up my own Ubuntu server using an HP laptop from 2011(HP Probook 4330s).
I installed it using a usb stick and during setup I made an internet connection to my wifi. It seemed like the connection worked and I checked my router and it displayed a working wireless connection to this laptop(wireless lamp on laptop also displayed connected).
When installation was finished and the Ubuntu was restarted I didn't have any internet on wireless or cable. The wireless lamp on laptop displayed not connected. My router did not have a connection to my laptop.
I started searching the web and tried several options for getting the internet up and running.
Some suggested that there was a driver issue, but I don't believe that is the case since I during setup did have a connection. But what do I know?
Take a look:
Can anyone find out a solution with this?
Here's what I get with commands people usually post.
ifconfig -a
lspci -vvnn
lspci -knn | grep Net -A2
I did mess around in /etc/network/interfaces
I'm thinking of trying an older version of Ubuntu and see if that works, but It's really annoying that I can't get the internet working. Does anyone have a solution for this?
UPDATE Have tried commands with rfkill, but for some reason rfkill is not installed on my system.
UPDATE2
Managed to install rfkill through my wired connection and did a rfkill list all
that showed that there is a hard block on my wireless card(a physical button on my laptop). But pressing that button doesn't change anything..
anon@ubuntu:~$ rfkill list all

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
