SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

2019-11-01

Easy enough fix…keep in mind I usually am running Kali linux but this will get many other distros and get you probably 90% there on others.

rfkill list all

# rfkill list all0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: phy1: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no

now do this to actually turn the block off:

rfkill unblock wifirfkill unblock all

now you can list it again to make sure, you may need to reboot as well

# rfkill list all0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: phy1: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
