My wifi is hard blocked in Ubuntu, how to bring it up despite rfkill
0
My wifi is not working in Ubuntu 16.04, it is hard blocked, but there is no any physical switch that i can turn it on. This question was asked and answered more than 50 times all over the Internet space, but non of the solutions worked. The most common answer to this is blacklisting 'wmi' inside the blacklist.conf file, still this was not helpful Here are some useful info about my device:
