Hello everyone,
I can't get my wifi working.
I have the exact same problem as this person
http://thelinuxexperiment.com/guinea...-with-rf-kill/
Also it set to "flight mode" and even though I turn it off it doesn't change.
when I type ifconfig wlan0 up I get the message “SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill”
does anyone have any idea what I can do about this?
thanks in advance!
Best Wishes
Kraako
Problem Solved, I removed the battery from my laptop and put it back in and then it worked :)
If you are using the rtl8187 driver try the folloing:
You can also copy the following scrip, make it execuable and run it as need it, just give a name easy for you to rememberQuote:
rmmod rtl8187
rfkill block all
rfkill unblock all
modprobe rtl8187
rfkill unblock all
ifconfig wlan0 up
then run in the teminal /root/[name of scrip]
That should do itQuote:
#!/bin/bash
echo Remove RTL8187 Module
rmmod rtl8187
rfkill block all
rfkill unblock all
echo Add RTL8187 Module
modprobe rtl8187
rfkill unblock all
echo Bring wlan0 Up
ifconfig wlan0 up
Okay thanks :) I will try that out :)
You are an absolute Genius !,, not 1 person on any board solved this !,, and Kali doesn't have rfkill ,, YOUR SOLUTION WORKED 100% !!!! and was so simple, ,, lol,, take batery out,, man ow man,, after days of working on this.
Not sure if it'll work for u, but i fixed the prob with this script:
#!/usr/bin/python
# replacement for rfkill util, which is missing in kali
# By: Geist
from sys import argv
if(argv[1] == "unblock"):
x = open("/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill%s/soft" % argv[2], "w")
x.seek(0)
x.write('0')
elif(argv[1] == "block"):
x = open("/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill%s/soft" % argv[2], "w")
x.seek(0)
x.write('1')
print("interface %s %sed" % (argv[2], argv[1]))

as you can plainly see, it's in python. Probably not as full featured as the real rfkill, but it does the job.
I have the same probllem. I have rtl8192ce. rfkill says I have a hard block. My wifi button if it ever worked is not responsive. Nothing notable in dmesg. Tried all button combos I can think of. My media keys which are not wifi related no longer stay on when i hit them, god knows what they origionally did. Trying to locate the block via software but there are too many nails
APPLICATIONS MENU > SYSTEM TOOLS > PREFERENCES > SYSTEM SETTINGS
open NETWORKS
Now, toggle the AIRPLANE mode off and while it is still open (leave it alone) press your standby/power button. Let the system go into standby. Next resume the system and toggle your wifi button.
Worked for me.
you are a genius m8 ! worked for meQuote:
