HP Pavilion DM3 Atheros WiFi Disabled
I seem to have a similar problem to a fair few folks regarding wifi listed as disabled ... the thing with the DM3 is that the button on the side of the laptop enabled bluetooth and wifi .... Bluetooth enabled fine but wifi remains disabled at all times ... I've pasted the output from the command everyone gets asked to run in other posts below .. also when trying to just bring the interface up i get
simmo@Ulaptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[sudo] password for simmo:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
the other things i've been reading about was installing the windows driver but I havent done that yet, just wanted to see if anyone has got some ideas of bringing the wifi up
OUTPUT ----
simmo@Ulaptop:~$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/
