Wifi USB Adapter stops working intermittently

[Colin23erk]

Hi
Loosing Hope with solving this --each step forward just presents a new problem to solve !

I have found out what the identifier is for rfkill its the devices number as shown with ( rfkill list )

Code:

root@colin-NC110:/home/colin# rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
2: samsung-wlan: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
3: samsung-bluetooth: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
4: phy1: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: yes
    Hard blocked: no
root@colin-NC110:/home/colin# rfkill unblock 1
root@colin-NC110:/home/colin# rfkill unblock 4
root@colin-NC110:/home/colin#

I blocked 1 before I connected the dongle  to find I still had no WiF

The next problem is that both phy1 and phy0 are both blocked

In the output above item 1 that is shown as not blocked is also blocked for use as well as Item 4 which is shown as soft blocked

I could not unblock 1  (rfkill unblock 1) directly

I only got WiFi back when unblocking 4 (rfkill unblock 4) which unlocked 1 and 4

Where do I go now ??????
