Hard block.... Search for a physical switch with which to turn wifi on. Can be a very small, tiny switch, usually on the front (but sometimes on the left or right side). Sometimes it's an Fn key combination.

That's strange, because rfkill shows a hard block. :shock:

Can you set the wifi chipset to "always on" or "last state" in the BIOS? If so, do it.
