I have Ubuntu 12.04 and my laptop has 

Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan]

wireless. Every time I restart my laptop I am required to run following commands in order to resolve wireless soft blocking and make it connect to wireless networks:

sudo rfkill unblock wifi; sudo rfkill unblock all
ifconfig wlan0

How can I make this change permanent?

  • @MrAli a useful/half-baked definition of a *nix system file is "a script that runs every time the system is booted" – djeikyb Dec 31 '13 at 15:46

Please open a terminal and do:

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Right above the line exit 0, add a single line:

rfkill unblock all

Proofread carefully, save and close gedit. You should be all set.
