[SOLVED] Dell Laptop - wicd couldn't finding wireless network

Hi guys,

I have a Dell  Insprison 15 Laptop, everything is ok, but only wicd-client couldn't connect network or find anything after I call:

systemctl suspend

Although I called:

systemctl restart wicd
#or
systemctl disable wicd ## if wicd is enabled
systemctl start wicd

SOLVED,

The problem was the wireless is disabled by hardware switch  (hard blocked yes) after my system was suspend.

The Solution: only try to look for the key of wireless, but I never think the key must be pressed on the opposite way.

F1 --> F12 : Special Keys
Fn + F1 --> F12: Normal Key (F<N>, F1)

The Terrible Thing:

Fn + PrtScr : Wireless Button (Although the icon position of the wireless is the same of the other special keys, F11 (Decrease Lighting )), If you don't see the information about the wifi is enabled or disable after you pressed the keys, please waiting for about 5 seconds.

This is my first time using DELL Laptop

Hardware name: Dell Inc. Inspiron 3541/Inspiron 3541, BIOS A04 01/08/2015
