WiFi enabled but refuses to connect

I turned on the wifi hardware switch

You mean the privacy switch? Once you've done that, you need to either poke the driver so that it talks to the wifi chip again, or reboot the machine.

Try the following, and if that doesn't work, reboot, as it didn't seem to work for me, and going by the latest on the wiki, should have.

Code:

sudo tee /sys/bus/platform/drivers/dwmmc_rockchip/{un,}bind <<< 'fe310000.dwmmc'
