Wifi was working fine during installation, after download first updates, wifi is turned off , the question is How do I switch on the wifi antenna?
Using sudo ifconfig wlp1s0 up
this is the result:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operación imposible por estar la radiofrecuencia desactivada
I absolutely don’t want to re-install Windows, but MATE 16.04 LTS is making me get embarrassed, it is not logical to use only a wired network on a netbook.
