Asus N53SV wireless hard-blocked. Switching hardware button does not help
Dec 11th 2012, 09:59

The wireless connection on my Asus N53SV (At least I think that's what it's named) does not work. When attempting to use wireless, it says wireless is either hard- or soft blocked.
I recently installed opensuse 12.2 instead of Windows, and had the wireless connection working for a couple of weeks.

Hardware light is currently off.
rfkill list:
0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

switching wireless hardware button on (fn+f2 - turns the hardware light on)
rfkill list:
0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes

Has been rebooted, formatted, no clues as to why wireless is turned off in BIOS - basically: I have no idea why it does not work nor what to do next.
