@Everyone: pls make sure, very sure, your HW enables the Wifi chip/radio. BIOS first, then check hardware buttons/sliders and finally (it's the case with IBM's and Lenovo's notebooks) the Fn/F5 or any other combo key your PC may have. rfkill is very useful to understand which one is off (soft are the latter case, while hard are the former twos). I apologize with Chase for my very basic error of not checking BIOS first: my notebook came with Wireless disabled from factory (which may be just a specific situation, since the machine was originally shipped as a console - sigh!)... but checking BIOS should be the very first thing to do!
@Chase: Thanks again for your support and time. -- ifconfig returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 when running commad ifconfig wlan0 up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
