I can see the kernel(4.4.6) bringing wifi up and down whenever I toggle rfkill, also: ~ # rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no <Press rfkill and ...> ~ # rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no However, the rfkill LED stays white ALL the time. Used wifi firmware: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 16.242414.0 op_mode iwlmvm Jocke -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
