Any ideas on how to fix this? My Toshiba Satellite Click doesn't have a hardware switch to disable wireless. Help!!

I got the same problem.I did

Restart -> F2 -> Bios settings -> Reset bios to default -> save

This worked for me.

First try to unblock in Ubuntu with:

rfkill unblock all

If this doesn't work read on.

If you are dual-booting with Windows.

Boot Windows, enable wifi and reboot. In my system, if I disable wifi in Windows, I'm not able to unblock it in Ubuntu. Ubuntu is able to remove the soft block but not the hard block on my system.

I searched for some images, and all of them had a little button in the top row containing a networking image (see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yeeh7qry8ypzbi4/toshiba_satellite_l850150.jpg?dl=0). I am pretty sure that that button is your hardware switch.

Is it toshiba-laptop or toshiba-wmi that's loaded? Find out with:

$ lsmod | grep toshiba

Remove whichever is loaded, like this: For Example:

$ sudo rmmod -f toshiba-laptop
$ sudo rfkill unblock all
$ rfkill list all

This solution works for mine.
