+Some wireless cards are deactivated by default. To activate them, please consult
+your hardware documentation. Some of these cards can be unblocked using the
+rfkill application. If that is the case, use "rfkill list" to see the available
+cards and "rfkill unblock &lt;index&gt;" to activate the wireless functionality.
+If not, you might need to unblock the wireless card through a button, switch
+or special key combination on your laptop.
