Thanks, this works. How can I know enough commands to use. are there some hand-book (terse ones) for it? so I may recite some (hope not sounds so silly, might a bit though). In the past (maybe till future), one channel is learning form people/list, another channel is in the process of google-searching the problem. Sometimes read man pages, so much information and I just got lost so soon. > > If this does not work then it might be necessary to install the package > "rfkill" and use > > rfkill list Just installed.
