Problems around my notebook - I need some debugging around the kernel

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Well,

It seems that I know the reason why is disabled my wifi...

it's looks like the rfkill is active - as I have get acquainted this thing -
it means that for spare battery power you could turn off the wifi chip. This
is the rfkill. But I couldn't turn off this - or manage. Normally as far as
I know, Networkmanager could do this at in right click menu, and manage this
part. But currently the whole network managing upper part is greyed out - so
it means for me that unreachable.

Somebodí at support chat has adviced to me to install system-config-network
-  this helped to me a lot to get the diagnosis.

So - I hope this will help if somebody knows the solution for this - here is
the part of the dmesg:

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
    invalid argument "Automatic".

Thx,

Zoltan
