Hello.
I did note that there was already a solution for a similar problem, but I tried it and it did not work. I also browsed the Internet for hours and didn't find anything that worked, so I ended up asking here. The docs didn't help either.
I'm running a dual boot Kali Rolling 2016.2 (64 bit) and WIndows 10(initially just Win 10, then Kali from a Live USB, then a dual boot) on a Lenovo ThinkPad V310-15ISK.
The issue is similar to the one in the other topic - I am not able to turn on my Wi Fi. Pressing the "Turn On" button will not do anything, and when I go to the Wi Fi section from my settings I get a "Wi-Fi unavailable" thing.
I tried the fix in the other topic - blacklisting ideapad_wlan - and it didn't do anything. Ideapad_wlan was still there and my Wi Fi was still dead.
Thank you.Code:rfkill list 0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN --------my laptop is a ThinkPad, or at least that's what the Internet said Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 2: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
