I have Linux Mint 20.1 and it has been running well so far. Both the wireless and the wired connections worked well. However, unexpectedly, the wireless is not working anymore. It appears in the NetworkManager Applet as Disabled, and there is no option to enable it.
I found with rfkill list that it was soft blocked. I unblocked it but I still cannot enable it using the NetworkManager.
I tried rebooting the system, but this softblocked it again.
After unblocking it, I tried restarting the NetworkManager, but this also softblocked it again.
What can I do?
Here is my system info:
