[xubuntu-users] glitch installing Xubuntu 14.04.4

[Teresa Binstock]

A verified PAU05 purchaser (Amazon) said he had success installing Xubu 
with the PAU05, and a Panda-help tech (after my lament) installed Xubu 
14,04.4 on an in-house computer using the PAU05 and was successful. 
Installing 14.04.4 on my dv7t seems to reset "1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN" 
to "Hard blocked: yes", and that setting was resistant to change on my 
computer.

Mt dv7t has no finger accessible Wifi swith, and the dv7t continued to 
use the PAU05 while running W7. From dv7t:

tcb at dv7C:~$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
     Soft blocked: no
     Hard blocked: no
1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
     Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes <-------
2: phy1: Wireless LAN
     Soft blocked: no
     Hard blocked: no
