Cannot turn on Wifi (HP ENVY Ultrabook)
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2013 3:24 pm
I cannot seem to get my wifi to turn on. The switch is the f12 button and it worked when I had the Win 8 virus still installed.
I have done a search and tried fixes that I have found on the forum including trying to load the b43 and the Wacom driver, but still with no luck.
Can anyone give a solution to my problem?
