operation not possible due to rf-kill hard blocked

·1 min

Are you googling for rfkill

It is probably either a hardware switch or BIOS setting that has disabled your wireless…

Possibility 1:

you have a physical switch or button (or Function key + something) for toggling wireless on and off - is wireless enabled here?

you might also have an LED indicator for this toggle

Possibility 2:

you have a BIOS setting for toggling wireless on and off - is wireless enabled here?

you’ll have to reboot to check this one

Possibility 3:

something else…
