    Whenever I run ifconfig wlan0 up I get: 

    SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted

    my lshw -C network shows:

      *-network:1 DISABLED
   description: Wireless interface
   physical id: 2
   logical name: wlan0
   serial: [REMOVED]
   capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
   configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rtl8723bs multicast=yes wireless=unassociated

    dimes shows the following error:

      Did you try with sudo? And is it really wlan0? Are you using Ubuntu?

      enabling the driver for it r8723bs still won't fix the issue.
