How to remove driver from blacklist in ubuntu?

I was following some answer to unblock hard-blocked wifi. I type the following command

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-hp.conf <<< "blacklist hhp_wmi"

and ended up removing wifi option completely.

Now I want to unblock that any help here how to do it ?

    Open the file and remove the line that says blacklist hhp_wmi. You can do that with nano if need be

    sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-hp.conf

    or if it is the only line in the file (and that IS likely) you could also delete it with

    sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-hp.conf

    Not sure if needed but do a reboot after removing the file.
