Hello Silvio, rfkill was already the right direction. You have to unblock the phy0 device via rfkill. Try `rfkill unblock 0` This should work. cheers, chris

Just a thought but when you type ip link what do you get? If you have more than one network device, you will want to make sure that dhcpcd is enabled with sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd@x.vservice whare x is the interface name you want to use. HTH. Matthew On 11/06/2016 05:12 PM, Silvio Siefke wrote:

Is there any case where rfkill unblock/block handles the “Hard” case? Bruno

Im sorry, what mean it? I nothing have to do with rfkill normal, I install the system and no wlan. I try to install iwlwifi driver but found nothing for it and in forum of Arch Linux there was read about rfkill. First time in my Linux Time I use. Before on Sabayon was working without problem. Maybe kernel is problem? Thank you Silvio

Maybe it’s a dumb question, but have you checked whether there is actually any hardware switch (WiFi button, slider, switch) anywhere on the laptop? Else, another common issue I’ve seen from ages, is that disabling WiFi in Windows using a the WiFi hotkey (Fn/Function key) results in « hardware switch »-like disabling. Do you happen to have a dual boot with a Windows (or did you have a Windows prior to Arch install)? In the case you still have this Windows, can you boot it and check WiFi status there? If you had a Windows but not anymore, I’m not sure what your best option is… Hope it helps you, Bruno

Yes give but this is on. I have see in bios too, all is activated.

No pure Linux. Thank you Silvio
Just a guess: with my Lenovo initially I had a similar problem which turned out to be a missing driver. Installing some 3rd party AUR package it worked fine. Have you checked lspci? Kernel mods? Which module is built in? Ever searched for it? With my HP I am having some bios problems (caused by HP - I will never get any HP anymore). After each reboot I have to wait for approx 3 minutes before it is working. Meanwhile wifi is constantly turned on and off again: there is no hardware button but bios is still reporting it had been turned off and on. Check if there are bios reports on the net. Usually you are not the first. The same error does not appear on windows. unassambling efi and compiling it again threw something like 30 errors on the wifi module in efi... ente On Sun, 2016-11-06 at 22:56 +0100, Silvio Siefke wrote:

I'm sorry if this sounds basic, but after setting up an EliteBook 8760w with wifi, I found the "hardware switch" (the wireless button at the top-right of the keyboard on my laptop) must be on. You have checked to insure you have the switch on right? Now if I could just get it to boot without the iso, I'd be fine. There are a couple of articles in the wiki about HP EliteBooks that may help with the wireless, check: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_EliteBook_840_G1 and see if any tips there help. All I did was follow the wireless networking page to configure wireless with wpa_supplicant on the elitebook and it worked and responds to the hardware switch. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

It's funny what I read. I read I should take off, remove accu and electric line and then press on/off for 10 seconds. Plug all in and it should work. Crazy? But it work. Now goes Wlan again. Maybe it's I used wired and that's why not work? Silvio

Silvio, Using wired during setup makes no difference. After setup, you need to know what type of encryption/authentication your wireless access point uses and follow the appropriate part of the wireless setup wiki. Specifically, you need to first confirm your driver: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration#Check_th... Then go through the manual setup, step-by-step. Note: on my laptop the device name was 'wlo1' which is different from what you normally see. I suspect your device will have a similar name. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration#Manual_s... This will identify exactly what part of the configuration is giving you problems. After you have it working manually, the simplest way to setup your wifi (in my opinion) is using netctl. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration#netctl For wpa_supplicant, (if using wpa psk encryption) simply set the wpa_passphrase. To do so, save the original wpa_supplicant.conf (it is a good reference for all configs) and re-create the file with wpa_passphrase, e.g. # mv /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.orig # wpa_passphrase "Your ESSID" "your_password" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Then just add the needed general configuration to the top of the file before the 'network { ... } block created by wpa_passphrase, e.g.: update_config=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 network={ ... existing stuff from wpa_passphrase } To finish your netctl setup, just create your setup-file in /etc/netctl by copying your ESSID and Key to the appropriate fields. I do it slightly different from the wiki. I don't like the multiple includes of the various different configs, so I put it all on one file. Copy the ESSID and Key information from your wpa_supplicant.conf e.g. Interface=wlo1 Connection=wireless Security=wpa IP=dhcp ESSID='Your_ESSID' ## Note: the '\' before the psk Key='\your_psk' Priority=10 Description='Whatever you want' Security=wpa-config WPAConfigFile='/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf' Adjust as needed for your hardware. Save your netctl interface config in /etc/netctl under any 'config_name' you like, then start and enable the netctl service for your config, e.g. # netctl start config_name # netctl enable config_name That is all that was required on my elitebook. Going though the manual config steps will verify each step of the setup. Once you have it working, creating the automatic start config is straight forward. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
