It’s a new install of openSuSe v.12.2 on a Lenovo G560. For about a week after the initial installation the wifi had been working without issue. But, now the Network Manager (in GNome) is set for Airplane mode and the wifi nic is set to off (disabled) and I can’t reset the settings.
/sbin/lspci -v output:

Turn on your wireless switch. The see the state, run the command
‘/usr/sbin/rfkill list’.
I tried the wireless switch in Network Manager; it will not switch on. I ran the command you provided I received an error message stating that no file or directory exist.[/size]

What, you don’t know how to install a package? Then say so.

No, I’d suggest that the user did not know the implication of the error message, but rather than be patronizing and cryptic, let’s concentrate on assisting and being as helpful as required
@elloyd2323: Assuming you have wired network access, you could do the following
Hi all,
I too cannot get out of airplane mode. Below is the output of rfkill
ubiroute@linux-984x:/> /usr/sbin/rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Trying to turn off from top right corner is also not working.
Harware keys to enable wlan also not working.
Intrestingly yesterday airplane mode was disabled(automatically ?? I don’t know)
I had problems connecting wifi afterwards but this airplane issue has to be sorted out first
Kindly help… Thanks
Sorry for that, I will start in future, but how can I turn off airplane mode. I restarted by PC even. Seems to be not getting away

The answer will likely depend on your hardware and its possible quirks. Can you tell us a bit more about the laptop make/model and the wireless chipset details?
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --wlan
This may be helpful (but only if relevant to your hardware)
Sorry, I missed the previous reference to the Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 device, and the Hewlett-Packard Company laptop. Anyway, did you check out the link?
You have nothing to lose.
