I can believe how bad I f#ck it.
The machine is an ACER V3-571-6234

The wifi is an BCM43228, working good with linuxmint 13 and debian wheezy.
After installing liquorix, this is the error that iwlist reports:

iwlist:
wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument

Even the wifi led is off.

The thing is, that iwlist keeps reporting "wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument" and the wifi led keeps off, even after removing liquorix kernel, and even AFTER REINSTALLING DEBIAN WHEEZY AND AFTER INSTALLING LINUXMINT 13

Linuxmint 13 says "wireless is disabled by hardware switch" (which I don't have...)

What Can I do?

Now linuxmint 13.

rfkill output:
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: acer-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

Im confused: it seems I have TWO wifi cards?! And one of them hardware blocked!

don't make us guess, update inxi: inxi -U
as root or sudo, then show:

inxi -zixx

Ouch, right now with linuxmint, wich I think don't behave nice with liquorix.
Anyway, still don't work, so i'll go for debian & liquorix again and pass that data.
Thanx in advance!
