I'm not able to enable Wireless using the hardware switch on my HP ProBook4430s.
Because of this the Enable Wireless option is greyd out and I cannot enable it.
The greyd out option can be seen in the screenshot below.
The results of iwconfig for my system are as follows,
lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off eth0 no wireless extensions.
Also I tried to do the following,
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
but I got an error as below,
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
Also the result of sudo rfkill list all for my system is as follows,
0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
How do I fix this problem?
Thanku!
