I can't get airplane mode turned off and wifi to work. I recently switched from WIndows (my wifi worked fine) to Kali and now my wifi won't work. I'm confident this is a linux issue since it worked fine before I installed Kali. I've researched this for a while and I can't figure it out. Here's some info:
Code:
root@kali:~# rfkill list all
0: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
This shows that it is a hardblock, but my hard switch is in the correct position and wifi is still blocked some how. I assure you that it is not because I didn't press the function + wifi key or the physical switch on the laptop. I checked that numerous times.
Some info about my chipset:
Code:
root@kali:~# airmon-ng
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
phy0 wlan0 ath9k Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've tried 'rfkill unblock all', reseting my bios, hard restarting, and the rest of the obvious things. Can someone point me in the right direction because I'm out of ideas.
