This is not the first time this has happened, but usually things would start working again. However, this time I decided to replace the wireless card with a spare as well, because I thought my card might be dying. This new card does not work either.
My computer model is an HP dv5z-1000 CTO. I have the latest BIOS drivers (which are supposed to solve an issue like this). There is no switch for the wireless in the BIOS. The wireless switch on the computer is on. Wired connection works.
Here are two commands that I know are usually helpful when troubleshooting this. Any thoughts anyone on what could be the problem? Thanks!
