acer_wmi module loaded in memory -> 4: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes -> Wireless Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 [8086:008b] (rev 34) not working on LENOVO U400 099329U in Ubuntu 11.10
I am able to ifconfig wlan0 up, iwlist wlan0 scan and it shows access points. Network manager will not enable wireless. There is a function switch on the keyboard to toggle wireless and it is on. I have tried wiping the system and installing Ubuntu 11.10 32bit, and OpenSuSE 12.1 with the same results. I have only successfully used the wireless from a Knoppix 6.7 live CD. The following is the output from the Wireless troubleshooting page.
grep is already the newest version.
