Hi,

I have a HP pavalion laptop that has UEFI mode with kali and windows installed.
I can get the ethernet working with no extra steps but the wifi is always showing disabled. The wifi key turns red on my keypad when I start the boot. In windows then it turns to white and is able to perform as expected but with linux there seems to be no way to make it work. I have a spare usb wifi with me which is also having the same problem.



I have gone through some google search and tried out few things but nothing works.

I am hoping someone can help me with this, I travel a lot and wifi is the necessity without it all my work will be on hold.

Here is the rfkill list all output:

Code:
