This is a follow-up to Wireless Interface Hard Blocker, Cannot Bring Up. Following the successful resolution of that issue, another problem began to happen - the wireless interface would intermitently become soft-block with no apparent reason. I have looked around, and it seems the commonly accepted solution is to blacklist a kernel module related to proprietary hardware.

For the time being, I have added the following script to my rc.local.

rfkill event | grep --line-buffered "soft 1" | while read line ; do
    id=$(echo $line | grep -o "idx [[:digit:]]*" | grep -o "[[:digit:]]");
    rfkill unblock "$id"; 
done;

The said script programmatically unblock all interfaces that become blocked via a software block, thus providing a near seemless experience (besides the intermittent connects and disconnects from access points). I am not however satisfied with this solution as it is really bodged and hides the true problem.

Could you help me out? :)

Cheers!

P.S.: You can find all the necessary information about my computer wireless info here (done using Ubuntu Forums' wireless-info script)

  • Nice, thanks! Unfortunately I attempted it and I still have the problem – Philippe Hebert Mar 24 '17 at 19:25
  • You might try disabling power saving on the wireless adapter as outlined [here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/836271/ralink-pci-wifi-adaptor-intermittently-drops-connection) – Elder Geek Mar 28 '17 at 13:36
