EliteBook 6930p
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Pretty simple issue:

Whenever i plug a LAN cable into the laptot (either the laptop or the docking bay port) the WiFi adapter is hardlocked off, how do I change this? I've messed around with the BIOS and tried things such as rfkill but nothing seems to work.

Hi:

 

I have a 6930p, and there is a LAN/WLAN switching setting which the default setting is enabled.

 

That turns off whatever networking device is not being used.

 

If you want the wifi to work simultaneously with the ethernet, then you have to disable this setting.
