Denva: Can you give the output of 'rfkill list' when you get the situation with the USB adapter?
Teej: It would be most helpful to have the rfkill list output pasted in rather than typed from memory, just to ensure that there aren't any mistakes. What it looks like at this point is that hp_wmi receives events from the BIOS that it thinks are telling it that some kind of blocks have been applied to the wireless. Exactly why that is happening is unclear at this point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816145 Title: Atheros AR5001 wireless card "wireless is disabled by hardware switch" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/816145/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
