Hi,

at boot time, Liberté Linux now explicitly unblocks Wi-Fi, WWAN and
WiMAX, and soft-blocks all other kind of wireless devices (Bluetooth,
UWB, GPS, FM). This is implemented using rfkill.

This may prevent some unwanted leaks through the wireless devices that
are unlikely to be useful in the context of Tails, and at the same
time, improve the user experience with wireless devices that come up
in blocked state after boot.

I think we should do this in Tails, and write a short documentation
page about how to manually unblock a blocked (e.g. GPS) device when
needed (e.g. sudo rfkill unblock gps).

Thoughts?

See commit 4ad1490 in Liberté Linux' Git for details.

Cheers,
