I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on Dell Inspiron 1564. Suddenly, the wireless card is not turning on (network is disabled). However, the computer recognizes the wireless card (lshw -C network
).
I tried starting it manually through terminal but it won't.
ok i ran lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list and here what i got :
lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list
