With the wl driver, the interface doesn't appear to be able to be turned on - txpower is always off, and iwlist scan gives an error message. With the b43 driver I get the RF-Kill message in dmesg, and network manager says "Wireless disabled" but won't let me enable it.

Once again both drivers install fine, the interface appears in ifconfig and iwconfig, but can't be turned on. I'm not sure what the logic behind this is, but it didn't work for me. That post seems to direct the reader to install b43 first, then wl (which will end up replacing the b43 driver). There's not much point in a laptop without a wireless connection.
#Realtek rtl8191se no networks shown how to
If anyone has any idea how to get this stupid wireless card to work, please help, before I go insane. The only button other than the wireless which does not seem to do anything is FN+F4, which I think is supposed to change screen resolution. However the sleep (FN+F1), monitor off (FN+F2), touchpad (FN+F8), and Num Lock and Scroll Lock all appear to work normally. I also ran xev and tested the laptop's function buttons, but none triggered any keypress events. I updated the bios, and I searched all through the submenus to see if the card was disabled there, but I found nothing that even mentioned the internal wireless card. Hard blocked: cat /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state Hard blocked: cat rfkill unblock rfkill list Pressing this button has no effect on the output of rfkill, and the wireless light remains off.Ī friend suggested changing the RF-kill state directly with echo, but this does not work:Ĭode: Select all rfkill block rfkill list Press the button to turn it on.Īs well as the physical switch, this laptop has (for some unknown, probably stupid reason) a keyboard combination (FN + F5) which is supposed to turn the wireless/bluetooth on or off. b43-phy0: The hardware RF-kill button still turns the radio physically off.
