Description Wolgan Ens 2018-01-30 15:30:38 UTC 
Hello, I just installed the Ubuntu 17.10 and my wifi doesn't work
properly. I can't enable it through the GUI. Sorry about my poor
report, I don't have to much detail and English is not primary
language. The wifi switch button on the keyboard is always with the red light and I can't change it by pressing.

Please check if this is not a BIOS setting. Or if wifi can be enabled by command:

rfkill unblock wifi 

I reassign bug to platform_x86 as this is driver for handing rfkill switch on laptops.

rfkill can't be enabled by rfkill and there is no bios settings related to the issue, on a Windows system the wifi works properly. Thank you.
