Re: [beagleboard] rfkill
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.

I pushed a systemd update to fix this rfkill problem for a few years..

[beagleboard] rfkill
Hi, To start with, I'm running Debian 8.2 with kernel version 4.1. I'm trying to get the wifi, wlan0 interface, to come up on boot, however rfkill is blocking it. I can get it working again by running rfkill unblock all and ifdown wlan0, ifup wlan0 however this setting doesn't persist on reboot. I've attempted writing a service to run the rfkill unblock all command at startup but it doesn't work very consistently. Regardless, there should be a built in way to prevent rfkill from ever blocking an interface. If anyone could help me out with this I'd greatly appreciate it. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
