You have been subscribed to a public bug: On HP 4330s there's onboard WiFi. When enabled Ubuntu 14.04 functions normally. Both the onboard WiFi and a WiFi dongle work.
When the onboard WiFi is disabled in Bios Ubuntu 14.04 disables not only the onboard adapter, but it also disables the WiFi Dongle. There's a message that WiFi is disabled by a hardware switch. Using the command rfkill unblock wifi or all doesn't do a thing. rfkill list shows there's hardware lock on WiFi. Please fix this. I triple boot and this behavior is present only in Ubuntu 14.04. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Disabling onboard WiFi in Bios disables WiFi Dongle https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
