When I don't use the skript it's soft blocked, when running it's unblocked. I did not even have rfkill installed at that point. Good, that problem's gone, it's soft blocked when shut down and needs rfkill unblock all prior to ifconfig up. Thanks for the heads up, but that doesn't change the problem.
