i tried "rfkill list" and "sudo rfkill unblock $device_number_as_seen_on_list".
it worked in a SNAP....... the LED light came back........ the "wireless is disabled by hardware switch" disappeared........ and the laptop connected to internet IMMEDIATELY......... Dell Vostro 1500.
But, upon restart, it went back to the previous state......... so everytime i reboot, i have to write "rfkill list" and "sudo rfkill unblock $device_number_as_seen_on_list"
