Asked by Joshua Mackail-Johnstone

I've just recently upgraded to the new ubuntu 11.10 oneiric oncelot and it is working really well, except that i cannot enable my wireless. Whenever i try to enable it, it quickly just turns itself off, and i'm not sure what to do to fix it.

Any ideas? i have tried looking for compatible drivers, but nothing has come up.

lsmod
grep blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/*
rfkill list
dmesg | egrep -i "firm|lan|eth|network"

Hi,

Please first connect your wired network adapter to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1:

If you are using the Gnome interface, open the Terminal console via "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

If you are using the Unity interface, the easiest way to open the Terminal is to use the 'search' function on the dash. Or you can click on the 'More Apps' button, click on the 'See more results' by the installed section, and find it in that list of applications. A third way, available after you click on the 'More Apps' button, is to go to the search bar, and see that the far right end of it says 'All Applications'. You then click on that, and you'll see the full list. Then you can go to Accessories > Terminal after that.

So the methods in Unity are:
Dash > Search for Terminal
Dash > More Apps > 'See More Results' > Terminal
Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word lsmod. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt5|rt6|rt7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt6|rt7|wmi|witch|wl'; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; ps -aux|egrep 'icd|etwork'; sudo lsmod

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.

Step 4: Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known) on this thread

Please copy-paste the following command into the Terminal and then press
<ENTER>:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Using the gedit editor, please ADD the following configuration line into
the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:

blacklist acer_wmi

Using the gedit editor, SAVE the change to the

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file.

Then REBOOT and retest wireless. This blacklist operation should make
the change permanent, even after rebooting.

This should force the Linux kernel to stop loading the acer_wmi module,
which is probably causing the kernel to soft block your wireless adapter.

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.

The steps that you gave me worked. However, now my wireless has disabled itself again.

joshua@joshua:~$ sudo rfkill list
[sudo] password for joshua:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: yes

Can you help please?

Acer Aspire One, model ZG5 running on ubuntu 11.10

If more information is required, just ask, but must give me terminal commands to find out what information is needed.

I've had the same problem. It's caused by the acer_wmi module.

Check this is the same problem : as root do

rmmod acer_wmi
modprobe ath5k

If the wireless works then fix permanently by blacklisting the module.

@Joshua and Jean-Marc: it is NOT the same problem as before

Previously, Joshua received the following Terminal output:

0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: yes
 Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no

This "soft blocked" issue was SOLVED by blacklisting acer_wmi (see solution given above)

Now your output is TOTALLY different:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: yes

First of all, the acer-wireless interface is gone, as it should be.

Second: the wireless LAN on phy0 is HARD blocked, not SOFT blocked.

The HARD block is probably due to pressing the wireless on-off switch or button on the side or top of your laptop.

You need to press the wireless on/off button again to switch the hard blocked setting to "no".

So this thread should have remained in the "solved" state and a totally new question should have been asked here:

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Joshua Mackail-Johnstone for more information if necessary.
