Hello, I'm reporting upstream a bug I already have reported in launchpad for Ubuntu. If you disable wireless networking on network manager and then re-enable it, wireless networks are not displayed anymore. To get them displayed again you have to check enable wireless, uncheck enable networking and re-check enable networking, and then you will see the wireless networks again. This is the bug I opened on launchpad with all the details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/876822
Are you able to re-enable wireless with 'sudo rfkill unblock all' ? Please grab output of 'rfkill list' after each toggle of wireless. If 'rfkill unblock all' doesn't help, try removing hp-wmi platform driver: $ sudo rmmod hp-wmi
Hello, with wireless networking and networking checked rfkill list gave me this output: 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no I then unchecked wireless networking and got this output: root@letozaf-HP-G62:/home/letozaf# rfkill list 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no checked wireless networking again but no connections showed and got this output: root@letozaf-HP-G62:/home/letozaf# rfkill list 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no I then typed "sudo rfkill unblock all" and got this output: root@letozaf-HP-G62:/home/letozaf# rfkill list 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no unchecked networking leaving wireless checked and got this output: root@letozaf-HP-G62:/home/letozaf# rfkill list 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no I then checked networking again and wireless networks apeared and got: root@letozaf-HP-G62:/home/letozaf# rfkill list 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
I tryed removing hp-wmi platform driver with "sudo rmmod hp-wmi", I then unckecked wireless networks, when I re-checked wireless networks it worked! all wireless networks were displayed again and I got automatically connected to the wireless network I was connected before unchecking wireless networks. So I definitly think that removing hp-wmi soleved the problem. Carla
lakhil@novell.com, it is noticed you marked this RESOLVED FIXED. Could you please provide a commit for this?
I tried to disable wireless networking on network manager and then re-enable it on Precise Pangolin Beta 2 and it works so I can say the bug is solved.
