SOLVED - Wi-Fi oddity

Every time I turn on my laptop, there is no internet connection.

I have to [Switch On Wi-Fi] pressing the button

then I have to [Refresh]

Only after this i can select my ESSID and connect to my network.

It's the first time I have a problem like this one.

Probably this issue is related rfkill, this is the situation when I tun on my laptop:

~# rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no

And this after the [Switch On Wi-Fi] and [Refresh] procedure

~# rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

Obviously I already tried

~# rfkill unblock all

and this worked too, but I have to do it every time I turn on my laptop... Super annoynig.

What is the status of the rfkill kernel module?

cat /sys/module/rfkill/parameters/default_state

It should be "1", if it's "0" then change that by creating a file at /etc/modprobe.d/rfkill.conf with this content:

options rfkill default_state=1

Good.

You can add the rfkill command to /etc/rc.local to get it to run automatically on boot. Or make a custom service to run it if you want more control.

Re: SOLVED - Wi-Fi oddity

I never edited rc.local nor created custom services before. Can you tell me how to do it or at least where I can find any good documentation to do that?

Just add your rfkill command on a single line at the end of the file at /etc/rc.local
