Hello and thanks Seth, I can't uoad the rfkill as my laptop overheated and am currently writing this on my blackberry. But when I did do the rfkill it said the same thing as last time (stated above).
I also tried the work around and after following your instructions my wireless card was picking up networks but wouldn't connect to them. Then we done disabled the network and turned it back on and it came up with "disabled by hardware switch". And haven't been able to get it to search for networks again. One last thing I did blacklist hp_wmi, but I think I have undone all of it again Thanks again for your help, this problem is getting annoying lol -- 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
