Hi Pedro, this is the solution: 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. The acer-wireless interface is an invalid wireless interface on your computer, because you are using a Packard Bell Easynote TN-65 , not an ACER computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886489 Title: [Solved]0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes -> DISABLED Wireless interface Intel WiFi Link 5100 not working on Packard Bell Easynote TN-65 in Ubuntu 11.10 32 and 64-bit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/886489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
