Hello everybody:
We have a user in the spanish telegram channel that cannot activate his wifi card.

He has a IBM ThinkPad Edge 0301 e15 0301GQG.
The wifi card is activate in BIOS. this model doesnt have any external switch.

We tried this:
┌─[root@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ #rfkill list all
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

┌─[root@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ #rfkill unblock wifi
┌─[root@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ #rfkill unblock all

┌─[root@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ #rfkill list all
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

Can anyone help us?
thanks in advance!!

yes thats it… but it seems that the system finds the wifi card because we can see in iwconfig output the wlan0.
So the firmware is correct, and it loads well…but we cannot activate the radio (wifi)

For Centrino Wireless you need:
sudo apt install firmware-iwlwifi
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi

Have fun,
