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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Nelson <[email protected]> writes: > On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 1:55 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: >> Found a solution.... remove connmand and install network-manager. >> network-manager seemed to "just work" (once you remove the wifi config lines >> from /etc/network/interfaces).
