I will just reply: Peter: Thanks for your reply. I tried rebooting, AC-off etc a dozen times by now. Basically, every time when I tried a new kernel. The problem did not change. Jouni: Thanks for the clue, it's good to know what's going on. No, the computer (which is a desktop station) does not have any controls to trigger Wireless. Besides, it is an external USB card TL-WN721N (PS: This device is said to be supported according to wireless.kernel.org) which would not be affected by such a "hard-off" button. It does have a little button on the side of it which is called QSS (some security feature I don't know anything about). I pressed it repeatedly, also worrying that it could be the cause, but it did not have any effects. I installed rfkill and when I run "rfkill list", the tool returns that "Soft blocked: no; Hard blocked: no". Jouni: So far I had GPIO disabled in the kernel. I enabled it with the suboptions CONFIG_GPIO_BASIC_MNIO CONFIG_GPIO_SCM (buest guess) but it had no effect.
