Hello again, I though I would try and use a USB wireless dongle. It was a ralink RT2070 (device ID - 148f:2070), but for some strange reason it came up with "device is disabled by hardware switch". So I decided to do "rfkill unblock all" and sure enough my laptop wireless was unblocked and the usb dongle was unblocked, so I tried to use my laptop wireless and it connect and disconnect 3 or 4 times, then went back to hardblock.
I will attach some log files just in case you need them, but I think that it may not be any wireless card problem but the laptop itself as ubuntu says that the ralink dongle is disabled by hardware switch, which isn't possible Thanks guys ** Attachment added: "logs on the 28th August 2011" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/816145/+attachment/2327296/+files/logs-280811.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816145 Title: Atheros AR5001 wireless card "wireless is disabled by hardware switch" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/816145/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
