Hi
I am running SL6.1  2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64 kernel on a Dell 8300
desktop. I am not able to use my Wireless adapter because of Rf kill.
Running rfkill list shows a hard block and there is no way to reset.
If I boot into a live  CD such as Puppy Linux, I am able to use the
adapter. If I reboot from Puppy to SL I am able to use the adapter and
rfkill list shown no block. If turn off machine and then restart I am
back to the blocked adapter.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue

Thanks,

Joe
