Strange, looks like you have two wlan NICs ? Oh, maybe it's the
bluetooth module.
Dunno, wireless sucks anyways ^^
So, to determine the correct WLAN adapter run both :
lspci -s 03:00.0
lspci -s 0b:00.0
So, there are three (3) files matching the description offered by
Christoph Brinkhaus, and they all contain "0\n".
This is strange, he indicated that 0 is for normal ops, and 1 for blocked.
# systemctl --status rfkill
systemctl: unrecognized option '--status'
My bad, it's
# systemctl status rfkill
Is the rfkill *module* loaded ?
# lsmod | grep rfkill
# lsmod | grep rfkill
rfkill 32768 4 dell_laptop,dell_rbtn,cfg80211
Good, it's loaded.
And there's a hint, the module "dell_rbtn", which should mean dell radio
button.
Is the rfkill *tool* installed ?
# dpkg -l "*rfkill*"
dpkg-query: no packages found matching *rfkill*
If not, install it
# apt install rfkill
You did not install it :p
