Thank you for the bios fix idea. I like the superglue on the wireless switch! I am going to use that one!
The workaround I used to reactivate the wireless permanently was to reimage the hard drive back to the original Windows 7 installation. I was then able to reactivate the wireless using the Windows 7 troubleshooting wizard along with the Fn-F5 key combination. Once the wireless was active, I reinstalled Ubuntu and everything is working fine. I agree that the condition will happen again under the right conditions. Though this is not a permanent fix on its own, gluing the switch in the ON position should prevent it from recurring. -- Wireless and Bluetooth switch does not work correctly on lenovo ideapad s10-3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577114 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
