I have followed comments of this bugs and try to configure wifi on my laptop, a Lenovo Yoga 2 13(non pro). I did #33 then #17 manipulations. Unfortunately, I still have in Network Manager the sentence "Wi-Fi is disabled by hardware switch".
Here is more information about my config : julia@yoda:~$ uname -a Linux yoda 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:00:20 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux julia@yoda:~$ modinfo rtl8723be filename: /lib/modules/3.13.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/rtl8723be.ko firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8723befw.bin description: Realtek 8723BE 802.11n PCI wireless license: GPL author: Realtek WlanFAE <wlan...@realtek.com> author: PageHe <page...@realsil.com.cn> srcversion: EB08EA82D0846E3925AFAB6 alias: pci:v000010ECd0000B723sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: rtlwifi,btcoexist,mac80211 vermagic: 3.13.0-29-generic SMP mod_unload modversions parm: swlps:bool parm: swenc:using hardware crypto (default 0 [hardware]) (bool) parm: ips:using no link power save (default 1 is open) (bool) parm: fwlps:using linked fw control power save (default 1 is open) (bool) julia@yoda:~$ dmesg | grep rtl [ 9.489855] rtlwifi: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel [ 9.551003] rtlwifi-0:rtl_pci_probe():<0-0> mem mapped space: start: 0xb0400000 len:00004000 flags:00140204, after map:0xffffc90010e80000 [ 9.551020] rtlwifi-0:_rtl_pci_find_adapter():<0-0> Pci Bridge Vendor is found index: 0 [ 9.551023] rtlwifi-0:_rtl_pci_find_adapter():<0-0> pcidev busnumber:devnumber:funcnumber:vendor:link_ctl 1:0:0:10ec:0 [ 9.551026] rtlwifi-0:_rtl_pci_find_adapter():<0-0> pci_bridge busnumber:devnumber:funcnumber:vendor:pcie_cap:link_ctl_reg:amd 0:28:0:8086:40:40:0 [ 9.600836] rtl8723be-0:rtl8723be_read_eeprom_info():<0-0> Boot from EFUSE [ 9.614765] rtl8723be: [ 9.614959] rtl8723be-0:_rtl8723be_read_adapter_info():<0-0> dev_addr: 9c:d2:1e:58:04:3f [ 9.614964] rtl8723be-0:_rtl8723be_hal_customized_behavior():<0-0> RT Customized ID: 0x00 [ 9.811663] btcoexist-0:rtl_btc_init_hal_vars():<0-0> rtl_btc_init_hal_vars, antNum is 2 [ 9.811664] btcoexist-0:rtl_btc_init_hal_vars():<0-0> rtl_btc_init_hal_vars, bt_exist is 1 [ 9.811665] btcoexist-0:rtl_btc_init_hal_vars():<0-0> rtl_btc_init_hal_vars, bt_type is 8 [ 9.811822] rtlwifi-0:_rtl_init_hw_ht_capab():<0-0> 1T1R [ 9.905617] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc' [ 9.905844] rtl8723be-0:rtl8723be_gpio_radio_on_off_checking():<0-0> GPIOChangeRF - HW Radio OFF, RF OFF [ 9.905845] rtlwifi: wireless switch is on [ 9.905875] rtl8723be 0000:01:00.0: irq 61 for MSI/MSI-X [ 9.905908] rtlwifi-0:rtl_pci_intr_mode_msi():<0-0> MSI Interrupt Mode! julia@yoda:~$ sudo rfkill list 2: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes Did I missed something to do ?
