slack64 14.1 RF-KILL
 

i have to unblock 'soft blocks' every restart to get my wifi up on my laptop.

Somewhere in the startup script 'soft blocking' my wifi (along with blue-tooth, and a couple others) ??

I havnt had much luck finding any in-depth info on rf-kill other than basic commands. I am looking for more permanent solutions.

This wasnt an issue with 32bit slack. just started with 64

thanks

None of the Slackware startup scripts set rfkill soft blocks, nor call rfkill in any other way. To unblock your wlan interfaces on boot, put the following in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and make sure the file is chmod +x.

good tip my man. thankyou very much
