if your WLAN option is greyed out on your network manager, run these commands, you will likely get this output:
rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
how to fix it:
1. check that WLAN is enabled in BIOS (it’s under “Advanced” right next to Bluetooth enabled/disabled)
2. open terminal become root and:
echo "wistron_btns" >> /etc/modules; # on older linux (like knoppix -> this worked for me) echo "amilo-rfkill" >> /etc/modules; # on newer linux reboot
