Hi,
NM detects the wrong hardware status:
OS: Debian Jessie
Kernel: Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u1 (2017-02-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Hardware: HP EliteBook 2540p & AWUS036NH: Bus 002 Device 028: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
NetworkManager 0.9.10.0
What should I do?
Best regards.
Tom

It would also be a good idea to at least tell which version of Debian you are using and the specs of your hardware.
Re: Network Manager WiFi Hard blocked
I think you should try unblocking them all. If that works, add a [keyfile] section to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and list the others as umanaged-devices by mac address. I guess you could pull the plug on the others also by removing the modules? or by listing them in any way in /etc/network/interfacesWhat should I do?
I don't have a link handy about this, but man networkmanager.conf or so should be helpful, if unblocking all works to get the device showing up correctly.

Try:
If that doesn't work, blacklist the hp-wmi module.
Code: Select all
# modprobe -r hp-wifi
# rfkill unblock all
# modprobe hp-wifi

Your right! - That's the way it works!bw123 wrote:I think you should try unblocking them all.

Thank you!
The workaround is to unblock all devices with the hardware switch and afterwards disable the unwanted devices by removing the modules with modprobe.
But the general question is: Why turns the hardware switch on the laptop an external USB-WiFi adapter in the Network-Manager off?
