Sam, (In all plain text for those whose clients can't handle HTML...) Here's what "journalctl -b" tells me: May 27 16:48:50 tiger.protogeek.org rfkill[14554]: unblock set for all May 27 16:48:50 tiger.protogeek.org audit[1]: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=systemd-rfkill comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' May 27 16:48:56 tiger.protogeek.org systemd[1]: systemd-rfkill.service: Succeeded. May 27 16:48:56 tiger.protogeek.org audit[1]: SERVICE_STOP pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=systemd-rfkill comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' It looks like every time the service tries to start wifi with rfkill, SOMETHING is turning it around and stopping it. As the rfkill list command shows, this denial will apparently be done on all wifi connections that are stored in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: # rfkill list 0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 3: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Since there is no hardware switch to enable/disable WiFi on the ThinkPad P72, there must be some configuration command I can give that turns "Hard blocked: yes" to "Hard blocked: no". Or is there something else? --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
