wireless
When I run
iwconfig
it say's lo
and eth0
have no wireless extensions, but wlan0
it says
IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off
Retry long limit:7 RTS the:off Fragment the:off
Power Management:off
and I believe that's my problem, I just don't know how to turn it back on
Any help?
When I ran
lspci | grep Network
it gave me this
02:00.0 Network controller: Intell Corporation Centrino Wireless -N +
WiMAX 6150 (rev 67)
How I know that my wireless is hard blocked because when I run
sudo rfkill list all
I get
0: Ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
when I run
lshw -c network
I get.
