Sometimes, after I turn wireless off, using the network settings page, the wireless will not turn back on, despite Airplane mode not being on. The hardware switch is glowing orange, which is it's way of saying it's disabled. However, flicking the switch seems to only change whether it is in Airplane mode of not.
using the command
it returns
Code: Select all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Unfortunately because it only seems to happen sometimes I can't really be more specific, I only kept the one result from when it happens.
Rebooting does fix the problem, however, it can be a major inconvenience at times, so if anyone has a solution that would be great.
Cheers
