Re: why rfkill not list my wifi device

Interesting. Running "modprobe rfkill" wouldn't return anything because
the module is already installed. However, I get a slightly different
result from the lsmod command:

root@jhegaala:~# lsmod | grep rfkill
rfkill                 32768  7 bluetooth,thinkpad_acpi,cfg80211

The rfkill module is used by three other modules in my case. The first
two are related to bluetooth. The third, which your listing also shows,
controls network interfaces, including wifi. So I conjecture that you
have all the right modules installed.

However, in my reading I found out that not all wifi drivers support
rfkill. That may be your problem.


Thank Charles ! you are right. i have 2 usb wifi adapters now, one can be listed by rfkill, the other can't
