Hi Brian,

You've flipped the rfkill switch, thus you do not want to use wifi.
With all due respect, you are wrong.
If you do actually want to use wifi, there are other, better mechanisms to
just kill the card you don't want to use.
blacklisting does not qualify as better.

Well, actually in the case of the OP, the switch has nothing to do
with the PCMCIA card, and the card is still on, available and
configurable by hand (iwconfig, ifconfig) when the switch is off. It
is just NM that decides to disable all wireless possibility even if

Hi,
I have a laptop with a dodgy rfkill switch. It switches on and off randomly
when touch the laptop panel above it. To avoid the problem, I've installed a
PCMCIA card but network manager shut it down when the switch goes off.
Is there a way to ask network manager to ignore the rfkill switch?
