OK, so this is probably a quirk in the driver, because the rfkill program doesn't touch the hard switch, but "rfkill unblock wifi" works for unblocking the hard switch for me. Feel free to close this. The "hard" block is a hardware switch, i.e. a physical, mechanical switch. Software cannot alter that, it can only read it. This is different from "soft" blocks, which are software switches, that software maintains, reads and sets. Hence systemd-rfkill cannot really be involved with setting the hard block, as that is technically simply not possible. Closing. |
