I'm running Kubuntu 17.10 on a Lenovo T470p that has an Intel 8265 wifi card. Here's my lspci:

I don't seem to have iwlwifi-8265-33 or iwlwifi-8265-32 in my /lib/firmware:



van@t470p:/lib/firmware$ sudo find ./ -name "*8265*"
./iwlwifi-8265-22.ucode
./iwlwifi-8265-21.ucode
./iwlwifi-8265-27.ucode
./iwlwifi-8265-31.ucode


Could this be why it's "hard locked" on start up?



The really annoying thing is that everything was working just fine before I had to perform a clean install.



I've tried the obvious FN + F8 and FN + F10 key combinations. Not sure if there's another key combination on this laptop to turn wifi on/off.



My question is: how do I remove the "hard block" so I can fire up my wifi?

    On my similar T440p, it is F8 alone, not Fn+F8. Please try that.

  • Thanks so much @chili555, that did the trick (I feel quite foolish now). I've rebooted quite a few times, and wifi works each time. I've also noticed that WiFi is now automatically disabled when you plug in an ethernet cable - not sure if this has always been the case, but found it very interesting. PS - not sure how to mark your answer as the answer.

  • I'm glad it's working by whatever means. Network Manager will default to ethernet if it's available, effectively disabling wireless, because ethernet is generally faster and more secure.

    On my similar T440p, it is F8 alone, not Fn+F8. Please try that.

  • Thanks so much @chili555, that did the trick (I feel quite foolish now). I've rebooted quite a few times, and wifi works each time. I've also noticed that WiFi is now automatically disabled when you plug in an ethernet cable - not sure if this has always been the case, but found it very interesting. PS - not sure how to mark your answer as the answer.
