I have a Lenovo v510, running Ubuntu 16.04, and I can't get wireless networking to work. 
'Enable Wi-fi' has no effect, no networks show up. 
Some commands that I've tried, and their corresponding output below:

Well the problem is that your wifi card is hard blocked "this is like a phisical lock that some cards have"



try



sudo rfkill unblock all



and let me know if the status from the hard block changes, if not it's probably a driver issue






share|improve this answer

























  • Many thanks. The command unfortunately doesn't unblock the wifi, it is still hard blocked. How should I approach the driver issue? I'm already running 16.04 and update each time upon restarting. I've also tried adding backports but this doesn't help much it seems. Thanks for any tips!
