Wi-Fi wlan0 soft blocked - mark1250 - 03-23-2021
I'm running ubports on the Development Channel currently at version 456.
I turned the wireless off using the status bar > Network > Wi-Fi Set to disabled/off. Then I went back and turned it back on, but the wireless connection won't come back up.
When I run $ sudo rfkill list I see that phy0: Wireless LAN says Soft blocked: yes
So I run $ sudo rfkill unblock all I see that it changes to Soft blocked: no , but the Wi-Fi still won't connect.
I've checked that Flight Mode is NOT enabled and that Wi-Fi is enabled, but I can't get the Wi-Fi to connect. I've even tried toggling them back and forth with the same result.
Running $ nmcli dev shows: wlan0 wifi unavailable - -
Restarting network-manager doesn't help. Restarting the phone doesn't help.
Does anybody know how to re-enable Wi-Fi?
Thanks
Mark

I just experienced the same behaviour. After unblocking Wi-Fi, this did the trick for me:
Code:
nmcli radio wifi onI hope it helps you too!

@koenvervloesem Thanks for the reply. I had reflashed UBports prior to this, but this will hopefully help someone else or me in the future
