cannot find “Enable Wireless” option in Ubuntu 12.04 network drop down





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;

Historically, there is an "Enable Wireless" option that I can have ticked or unticked that is just beneath the "Enable Networking" option when I right click on the network bar.



Suddenly this disappeared one day, and I can't connect to wireless, nor does the option even exist to enable wireless.



The output for rfkill list all is below:



rfkill list all
1: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no


And that is all. There is no wireless that is being displayed.



The output for sudo lshw -C network is:

Does anyone know how I can enable wireless? I have also tried:



sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


and have checked to make sure drivers are up to date as well.

          • Yea i already went through all of those but none of it worked. It appears to be a different case as their wireless still appears when they do rfkill list all, whereas mine doesn't even show up there at all....

          • You do not have a driver loaded for your device. either it is not loaded and needs loaded manually or you need to install the driver which normally for intel devices is not the case.
