I'll do some more testing on Kali and a prepared VMWare VM of both WifiSlax and Kali. To get back the internet connection, I had to:<br />iwconfig wlan0 mode managed<br />iwconfig mon0 mode managed<br />(then reboot to restore internet connect).<br />jab3rw0kyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775979333891569257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083288048464105744.post-32841406696434902692016-02-25T13:42:06.043-05:002016-02-25T13:42:06.043-05:00I've had this problem for two days. here's...I've had this problem for two days. here's what worked for me.<br />chmod 777 /dev/rfkill<br />/dev/rfkill<br />rfkill unblock all<br />iwconfig<br />iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor <br /><br />Then test it with, eg. airodump-ng wlan0jab3rw0kyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775979333891569257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083288048464105744.post-47306022768532197332014-01-01T16:04:52.428-05:002014-01-01T16:04:52.428-05:00ive tried every single method nothing my linux exp...ive tried every single method nothing my linux experiences is limited so how about sudo apt-getf/*ked Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780938322323975646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083288048464105744.post-44896154184878348182013-06-16T05:51:55.190-04:002013-06-16T05:51:55.190-04:00Yes worked for me too, with the Broadcom WLAN -- t...Yes worked for me too, with the Broadcom WLAN -- thanks so much guys !Tomtomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115435070278518121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083288048464105744.post-8040690572062975602012-08-03T05:46:51.398-04:002012-08-03T05:46:51.398-04:00it worked for me ^^ thank you so muchit worked for me ^^ thank you so muchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083288048464105744.post-50682147485559407412012-05-24T08:59:47.919-04:002012-05-24T08:59:47.919-04:00I have an HP 630.

Today I upgraded my system from Ubuntu 10.10 --> 11.04 --> 11.10 --> 12.04.<br />My wireless was working well till the 11.10 upgrade.<br />After I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04, my wireless adapter could not be enabled. The system was not allowing me to enable the card using Fn+F10.

The instructions are correct, ...thank you!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />The instructions are correct, but I guess people who failed accomplishing it (like me) just had a slight different issue.<br /><br />1) my laptop wireless switch was off, so I turned it on and still gave me the same error. So start by checking if it is really on. Right click on the wireless icon to see if it's enable if not, that's step one.<br /><br />2) I had to restart it. I had two areas that occurred blocks. <br /><br />$rfkill list all<br />0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN<br /> Soft blocked: yes<br /> Hard blocked: no<br />1: phy0: Wireless LAN<br /> Soft blocked: yes<br /> Hard blocked: no<br /><br />3) Unblock both by using:<br />rfkill unblock 0<br />rfkill unblock 1<br /><br />restart ubuntu, bang bang... you're free of wires again.<br /><br />A big thank you to the author who posted this and I hope it helps those, like me, who couldn't get at the first try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17478016386400955195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083288048464105744.post-3118574396393002232011-04-10T11:27:36.285-04:002011-04-10T11:27:36.285-04:00Thanks !

However it did not solve the problem. <br /><br />It just worked after rebooting with the on-off swith at the off position. It seems that at startup the swith had to be at the off position as the system "believed" it was, and then when I moved it to the on position the system responded activating the wireless again... <br />I know it sounds weird and I dont really have an explanation, but it just worked.<br /><br />Now it works on windows too.<br /><br />Thanks again for the help!Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669802805384382820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083288048464105744.post-54194900351916619252011-01-11T14:57:42.474-05:002011-01-11T14:57:42.474-05:00Pablo, thanks for the feedback , I hope it helps s...Pablo, thanks for the feedback , I hope it helps someone else too.<br /><br />This solution seems to work on my box, I 'm wondering probably you never rebooted your box when you deleted the device file /dev/rfkill?<br />And it started to work after you rebooted your box.<br /><br />Have you tried to also check if the wireless is now working on windows?Philip K.

After booting ubuntu again I moved the switch to the on position and it started working again. Really odd...<br /><br />Now my output from the command “rfkill list<br />” is:<br /><br />0: phy0: Wireless LAN<br /><br /> Soft blocked: no<br /><br /> Hard blocked: no<br /><br /><br />Before it read “Hard blocked: yes” and the on-off switch didn't work at all.<br /><br />By the way my laptop is a Toshiba satellite with ubuntu 10.10 and windows vista installed.<br />Hope this helps someone else.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669802805384382820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083288048464105744.post-60615972966460140682011-01-11T12:30:09.893-05:002011-01-11T12:30:09.893-05:00Same problem here.
