I have VAIO VPCEA23EN with Ubuntu 12.04 32 Bit.

Bluetooth is working but not WiFi.

It says "disabled by hardware switch" even when it's enabled.

Open the terminal. the shortcut is:

Ctrl + Alt + T

Then type this command:

sudo rfkill unblock all

If it did not work from the beginning.Try typing it again like 2 or 3 times and then see

Sometimes the hard switch won't work. So this command works like a hard switch and helps enabling the Wifi.
