On this laptop the RF kill switch is a physical slider and it is certainly set to 'radios on'. There are also BIOS switches, but they should not change once Linux starts. I have done another reboot and attached the log. This is much longer as it shows the whole boot process.

Created attachment 622873 [details] Reboot log with wicked nanny enabled

I now have a workaround for this. I enabled nanny by adding this to /etc/wicked/local.xml:

<!-- Local configuration file --> <config> <use-nanny>true</use-nanny> </config>

Now the WiFi interface comes up at boot-time as it should. Logfile attached (with passphrases removed). The startup process looks rather different now.

Excellent! This was basically the next step I wanted to test here.

From wicked point of view there is nothing wrong here: initially, during boot-up ifup all, we read rfkill OFF event from /dev/rfkill which later gets set to ON.

Nanny works with this scenario as this is hotplug scenario and it is dedicated to deal with situation like this one. The remaining question could be why rfkill is updated that far with your kernel/machine. But it does not seem like wicked related issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 915025 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
