Wifi says that it is disabled via hardware switch. The hardware switch is a softkey at the top of the keyboard on the laptop, but when pressed it does nothing.

I also have this issue with my lenovo x230 and have been trying to figure it out. It is extremely frustrating. If there is anything I can do to help trouble shoot, let me know.

Does this issue persist on latest kernel?

This issue no longer persists. I don't know when the issue subsided as I've had the laptop hardwired since this was first reported.

Thanks for letting us know!

@himmAllRight if you are still experiencing issues, please file a separate Task and we can work through them there.
