Sony Vaio PCG-71315L "Wireless is disabled by hardware switch" Help!
- by Luke Rossi
I'm a new user to Ubuntu and Linux as a whole, I've had it for a few months and just as I'm starting to get a feel for things my wireless decided to quit on me. This puzzled me so i checked all the switches on the Vaio; my wireless switch was on (my bluetooth was also working), and in my windows partition the problem is non-existent. Help please? Anyways after executing the "rfkill list" command this was the outcome:
1: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
4: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
As stated in the title my laptop is a Sony Vaio PCG-71315L
