Yes, please install the rfkill tool and report the output from 'rfkill list' here. # rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Thank you John W. Linville Now with these two commands I can become fully open-source. rfkill unblock 0 rfkill unblock 1 What should I do to become independent of rfkill in all distros I tested. Is there a config file or sth do be repaired? Is this cab be called a bug? When I turn off Wireless with Fn + F3, I cannot turn it on again without rfkill tool. It seems rfkill activates automatically everytime I use Fn + F3. It sounds like a problem with your laptop's platform driver support for rfkill. I've found some new information it seems this is a bug of dell-laptop module as you said before. rmmod dell-laptop solves the problem. so it seems dell-laptop is the buggy module. |
