So... I have a BBB rev C with a wifi dongle. I downloaded the 8.3 disk image, started it, no channels blocked by rfkill when I first started with the new image. I was able to modify /etc/network/interfaces and connect to wifi. I then ran the apt-get update/upgrade combo. After that, I rebooted... and rfkill once again defaults to blocked. Suggetions?
