My Wi-Fi seems to have mysteriously "broke" itself.
I took my laptop (Lenovo B575) out today and it seems my wi-fi wasn't connecting. I booted into Windows 7 and realized that in my device manager, the wi-fi adpater didn't show up. I was able to repair the drivers manually and get the adapter to show up in the device manager. [Wi-Fi Adapter: Atheros 9285] However, even now, my wi-fi is beeing detected as "turned off" as the network diagnostic tells me to turn on the wi-fi switch. The switch is turned on, but the hotkey to turn on the wifi inside the computer isn't working at all. Because I set up my computer to dual boot, I booted into Ubuntu 12.04LTS (my primary operating system) and it tells me that the wifi hardware switch has been turned off when it clearly is on.
How can I fix my Wi-Fi?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
