Public bug reported: Wireless does not work on my desktop pc system using ubuntu. "rfkill list all" reports wireless device as hardblocked in ubuntu, although no wireless switch or respective key combination exists on my system and the wireless functions perfectly under windows on the same system.
The steps undertaken so far to try and solve this problem are reported in this ubuntu-forum-thread (The thread was opened by me for this exact problem): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2220855 I am using Xubuntu 14.04(trusty) but the problem persists also in Kubuntu. The kernel version is: 3.13.0-24-generic The reported driver for the wireless is rt2500usb.
