[Bug 1287827] Re: wifi not configurable in network-manager showing disabled by hardware switch
I applied this fix: http://billauer.co.il/blog/2014/08/linux-ubuntu-
yoga-hardware-blocked-wireless-lan/
Wifi now works flawlessly, but I'm wondering whether I'll need to repeat
the steps when future kernel updates appear.

Title:
wifi not configurable in network-manager showing disabled by hardware
switch
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Network manager shows Wifi is disabled by hardware switch. It worked jut after install but not anymore after.
I read somewhere I can use wicd and that does work.
iwlist wlan0 scan worked also before installing that.
Seems like a bug in network-manager to me.
It would be nice if NM does whatever wicd does to enable the wifi card.
I have nog physical button for wif and wifi is enabled in the UEFI firmware.
