Intel wifi laptop on boot has this in sys-net. the kernel is clearly disabling it for some reason.

So I accidently discover this under an Ubuntu live usb but then it worked under Qubes too With my laptop with the intel wifi chip, while it boots up and rfkill lists it as hard blocked... putting it to sleep and waking it back up somehow fixes this.

On my acer netbook with the Atheros wifi I redid some testing. Under 4.4 the wifi worked but under 4.9 the wifi was also hard off listed under rfkill Luckily, for this device I found https://askubuntu.com/questions/98702/how-to-unblock-something-listed-in-rfkill Which said that the kernel module for acer wmi (acer-wmi) was the problem, I'm not exactly sure how or why? maybe helpfully trying to handle acer keyboard functions but actually tragically eating the wifi function presses? Regardless, I put it in /etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf, rebooted, and volia, wifi. So that module seems bad. And I still haven't figured out what is up with the intel wifi laptop. But ooph, the 4.9 kernel seems to hate wifi :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

On Net the NetworkManager log shows (wlp0s0): using nl80211 for WiFi device Control device (wlp0s0): driver supports Access Point (AP) mode manager: (wlp0s0): new 802.11 WiFi device device (wlp0s0): state change: unmanaged -> unavailable (reason 'managed') [10 20 2] More interestingly # wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlps0s0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Succesfully initialized wpa_supplicant rfkill: WLAN hard blocked So, on my netbook, when it turned on, the wifi was always not quite right and I had to toggle via the via function keyboard key it to 'off' and then 'on' again. That not working could have been part of the problem under 4.9.35? But for this laptop, that had never been a problem, the wifi worked. Still, I've tried now toggling it using the Wifi function key and no success Sadly the rfkill command doesn't seem to be available in my dom0 or net vm In net tried (after chmod u+w hard) # echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/hard Error while writing to stdout write_loop: Input/output error -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
