RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

How do I fix this issue without a reboot ?


Can you please share output of this command?
rfkill list

This command should display the status of the wireless device.
We need to identify if either the SoftBlock or HardBlock is set to 'yes'
instead of 'no'.

For example on my machine:
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no


All of the Soft and Hard blocked are in no state.

That means they aren't blocked.

Hence, want to check the output on your machine.

Warm regards
Ragini
