Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I had wireless up and running for several months on a new laptop (HP
Pavilion Entertainment PC). Suddenly, a week ago, the wireless comes up
disabled, and the "enable wireless" option in the NetworkManager Applet
0,8 is greyed out. I ran "rfkill list" (I found that while doing a
google search for this problem), and "hard block" says "yes."
Removing battery and power and hitting the boot-up button did not reset
this. Neither did "sudo rfkill unblock 0" where "rfkill list" shows
identifier 0 as "0: phy0: Wireless LAN"
I upgraded to 10.10, but it didn't help.
Why is Ubuntu (10.04 LTS and 10.10) doing this? How can I get the
wireless re-enabled?
Also, as long as we're talking about this, normally at log on, the
wireless is enabled. I often disable it through the NetworkManager
Applet while I'm working on a wired connection. If I suspend or
hibernate, when I come back, the wireless in enabled again. Should I
submit a bug report?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
