[SOLVED] Wifi Hard blocked solution.

Okkay , a small update.

Like I said , the lappie was with the service centre for upgrades. It was the 2nd 4gb kingston memory chip that was causing all kinds of problems, like frequent browser crashes (every 10/30 secs) , slow responses, wifi block etc.

I had to open the lappie , and remove it manually , since it was out of warranty period anyway.
Now all things are working nicely.

Thanks.

Or maybe FM stands for "frankbell magic"

FM is what we would say when a problem mysteriously disappeared.

Customer: What was wrong?

Tech: Oh, it was an FM problem.

Well, maybe not relevant for any of you anymore, but for me it was.

My HP laptop randomly refuses to switch on wifi on/off button.

$> rfkill list -> hard blocked on

S> 'rfkill unblock all' does not help.

For me this worked:

$> sudo rmmod iwl4965
$> sudo modprobe iwl4965

Hope this is usefull for someone.
