I'm not sure if this is an issue with Deepin or my laptop. I've started my laptop up and it won't connect through wifi as my wifi card is disabled. I've tried the following;

1. Rebooted several times including pressing my Network key during boot.
2. Network key is non responsive.
3. Taken battery out.
4. Entered the following in the terminal:
➜  ~  sudo rfkill list all
[sudo] password for tom:
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
➜  ~  sudo rfkill unblock all
➜  ~  sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
➜  ~  sudo rfkill list all
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
➜  ~
➜  ~

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the input. Thanks again.

i had similar issues on a laptop where sometimes eth0 is likewise non responsive, but with mint (same ubuntu base).

have you tried sudo service networking restart?

...wait...

sudo ifconfig eth0 up

That hasn't worked either, still hard blocking.

i think after an apt-get upgrade i'm facing the same issues when waking up from suspend, although a reboot makes it functional again.

it tells the cable is disconnected, and even when i reconnect, neither ifconfig nor the wifi hardware switch make a difference (at least the first always worked in mint), so seems to be an issue that should be addressed by the maintainers... waking up without network is pointless.

will continue testing...

left wifi on and disconnected cable before suspending, after waking up both work...

i can leave the cable connected, it's just the wifi switch that apparently prevents wired network to wake up again after suspend...

My WiFi & Bluetooth are disabled permanently, could this be a hardware issue?

could be a BIOS / firmware issue...

you could try a live booting distro like linux mint for example (has very good hw-recognition & same ubuntu base, i recommend XFCE due to light weight) from another usb stick and enable BT & wifi there... then try rebooting into deepin :-)

Turned out I had a dodgy network switch.
