Hi Robert,

Like other USB WiFi users before me I have had the chipset (RT5370 in my
case) soft blocked after each boot. The problem, IMHO, rests with
/lib/systemd/systemd-rfkill and not with rfkill itself.

The /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] unit is expected to
restore the blocking state of all devices after boot to what they were
on shutdown. This is a perfect policy only that it has some bug...

The network-manager package nmtui utility is a too convenient solution
to those encountering trouble or otherwise this systemd bug would have
been long gone.

Can you provide a pointer to systemd-rfkill source code of the latest
image?

Thanks, Enoch.
