Title:

After many searches I found a solution that does not involve remounting
tmpfs, nor rebooting.
see link.

Works only for dell laptops, but for other hardware configurations the
idea is that you have to reloa
rfkill(8) reports in human-readable form information which it gets from
the kernel, or it tells the kernel to change the soft-block states for
some devices. It cannot affect the hard-block state unless there's some
kernel or, perhaps, BIOS bug which it's triggering.

Hi.
I have the same problem in my HP pavilion dv8 since I updated to
Maverick. It worked fine in Lucid.

Windows 7 / Ubuntu 10.
In Windows the wifi works as normal, but thing is:
Windows seem to screw the wifi hotkey so that in Ubuntu it can't be
enabled. From help of the above post, I could enable it with
rfki

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
I managed to work around the bug manually by mounting a tmpfs over
/sys/devices/virtual/rfkill/rfkill0 but it still not a solution nor an
option for inexperienced users... I detailed the workaround here: http

very annoying bug related to the wireless switch on this Dell Vostro

Hi, I'm not sure if this is related to xorg-server, some further
investigation seems to indicate that it is related to rfkill package but
I cannot find where to change this. I say this because when the computer
is turned on with the killswitch on, rkill list shows the following:

Sorry, lerning in progress... :D
I made the change in the wrong issue.
