Thread: Fn+F2 Wireless Toggle, AR9285

problem - wireless disabled hardware switch.

thought hit fn+f2 (laptop asus k61lc), seems toggle soft lock, not hard lock.

example:

user@user-k61ic:~$ rfkill list
0: phy0: wireless lan
soft blocked: no
hard blocked: yes

hitting fn + f2 results in:

user@user-k61ic:~$ rfkill list
0: phy0: wireless lan
soft blocked: yes
hard blocked: yes

now, using event monitor presses of fn + f2

user@user-k61ic:~$ rfkill event
1326375094.101854: idx 0 type 1 op 0 soft 1 hard 1
1326375098.155679: idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 0 hard 1

so, can seem find suggest loading laptop through windows , hitting switch, don't have available me right now. i'm using ubuntu, , wired connection how i'm connecting now. pointers should follow try , resolve this? , assistance.

i've been through 20 threads, , more bug reports. i've tried following did not work:

sudo service network-manager stop
sudo rmmod -f acer_wmi
sudo modprobe -r acer_wmi
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo service network-manager start
(most bug reports , threads seemed end after unblock mentioned, doesn't work me)

(my assumption acer part didn't work due not being driver type being used)
