Allegedly, on or about 08 January 2016, Tom Horsley sent:
I finally found log messages about the interface being soft
blocked by rfkill, which then led me down another rabbit hole
to figure out what the heck rfkill and soft blocking was about.
Is rfkill completely new in fedora 23, or has it been around
for a while, but the default recently changed to blocked rather
than unblocked?
Does it monitor a hotkey to switch RF on and off? Do you have one on
your keyboard? And does pressing it make any difference?
My laptop has a slider switch, which occasionally doesn't seem to be
obeyed. There's also a F key hotkey sequence, that rarely has seemed to
do anything.
