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. {<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.samundra.com.np/unblock-disabled-wireless-card-in-ubuntu/1125">http://www.samundra.com.np/unblock-disabled-wireless-card-in-ubuntu/1125</a>} Mt dv7t has no finger accessible Wifi swith, and the dv7t continued to use the PAU05 while running W7.

During the first install, I tried Xubuntu and it found my Panda Wireless PAU05 usb modem, but during install, the modem became disconnected and did not subsequently re-connect. However, W7 continued to recognize the modem. Panda tech support and several webpages offered support. Nothing worked to return functionality to the PAU05 while in Xubuntu. The PAU05 continued to function in W7. Two re-installs of Xubuntu 14.04.4 produced the same dysfunction. Here's what I sent to Panda tech support: "I reinstalled Xubu 14.04.4 twice today. Each time 'try Xubu' identified and used the PAU05, but each time - soon into the install - Xubu shut down the modem, not to return. So I installed Linux Mint 17.3 and the modem is working properly." I still have one computer running Xubu 14.04.4 (Acer AS 1410; 4G ram).
