wifi is disabled - can't find how to enable it
by rblampain from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57HZP)
Lenovo T500 THINKPAD and Vodafone R216H wifi modem with Debian 9 and MATE
This laptop used to automatically detect the wifi modem but refuses to do so now saying
Code:wifi is disabledalthough it still has Vodafone name and password unchanged in the parameters.
It is definitely not a matter of installing an incompatible wifi hardware but I cannot find how to "enable" wifi.
The only thing I have done regarding wifi was to adjust user settings to disable a user access to wifi to prevent the abuse of phone data allocation while the laptop was used by someone else in another place but now returned to its original place of usage.
Has anyone any advice on how to solve the problem?
Thank you for your help.
