WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch

[Paolo Galtieri]

Folks,
   on both June 2 and June 4 I have seen the following message in the logs:

Jun  4 13:35:53 terrapin NetworkManager[1529]: <info> [1559680553.5293] 
manager: rfkill: WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch

Until I shutdown my system and reboot I cannot connect to my WiFi network.

Has anyone else seen this and can tell why I'm getting it?  The first 
time this message appears is on June 2.

Paolo

No idea what caused the blocking of your WiFi but instead of reboot you
can use the tool rfkill tu unblock it.

You can't unblock it if it's a hard block.  Run "rfkill" and it will 
give you a list of all the possible locks.  See what the state is.

Did you accidentally hit the airplane mode key on your keyboard?
