I am having some troubles with my networking. I have a fresh install of The newest Kali-Linux. My problem is: after I boot up I try to run this simple script and I get stuck in airplane mode:
ifconfig wlan0 down && macchanger -A wlan0 && ifconfig wlan0 up
I've attempted to us rfkill to unblock the hard block to no avail.
Here's a sample of what I'm talking about:

As you can see the ifconfig down and up hard blocks it. I've tried switching on and off the hardware on the front of the computer, however it stays stuck. When I reboot it's not in airplane mode but it gets messed up if I try to go into monitor mode or ifconfig down then up. Thanks for any help in advance.
