Re: WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch
Toggling the disable wifi button on the laptop keyboard did fix the problem. Now if I close the lid and lift it the wireless is still enabled. I still don't understand why the wifi is killed while using it. Thanks for the help.

"Hard blocked" suggests there's a hardware switch on the laptop that's flipped to kill the Wifi. It's weird how you claim the Wifi works after a reboot, but shuts off after a suspend/resume cycle. This may not be a physical switch, but many laptops have a FN key combination that disables WiFi, sort of like a hybrid soft/hard lock. Just a wild guess, but the laptop might "forget" after it reboots that this key combination was pressed, but the bit still stays stuck somewhere, and the suspend/restore cycle makes the laptop's hardware suddenly realize (oh, my Wifi should be off). pgpeVTFlFoUPl.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch
Folks, several months ago I was getting the following error: WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch forcing a reboot to get my wifi back. Then the problem went away, but now it's back. Every time I close the lid of my laptop and then reopen it several minutes later the wifi is dead and requires a reboot to fix. The problem has happened while running. This is really annoying. Is this a hardware issue or software? Any idea what I can do to get around this issue? I'm running f29. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

No idea what caused the blocking of your WiFi but instead of reboot you can use the tool rfkill tu unblock it. You can't unblock it if it's a hard block. Run "rfkill" and it will give you a list of all the possible locks. See what the state is.

WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch
Folks, on both June 2 and June 4 I have seen the following message in the logs: Jun 4 13:35:53 terrapin NetworkManager[1529]: [1559680553.5293] manager: rfkill: WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch Until I shutdown my system and reboot I cannot connect to my WiFi network. Has anyone else seen this and can tell why I'm getting it? The first time this message appears is on June 2.
