I think Florian meant the rfkill package: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
net-wireless/rfkill |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Install it, and run "rfkill list"; mine says: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
# rfkill list |
| 53 |
0: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN |
| 54 |
Soft blocked: no |
| 55 |
Hard blocked: no |
| 56 |
1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth |
| 57 |
Soft blocked: no |
| 58 |
Hard blocked: no |
| 59 |
3: phy0: Wireless LAN |
| 60 |
Soft blocked: no |
| 61 |
Hard blocked: no |
| 62 |
31: hci0: Bluetooth |
| 63 |
Soft blocked: no |
| 64 |
Hard blocked: no |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
As you can see, all of them say "Hard blocked: no". If in your case |
| 67 |
one says "Hard blocked: yes", you can change it with "rfkill unblock |
| 68 |
wlan0", for example. |
| 69 |
