I need to enable wifi every boot - Solved

Check your firmware ("BIOS") settings. Debian should save and restore the rfkill status but that can't change the hardware button setting.

And please stop polluting this thread with your pathetic whining. If you don't like what people say then either ignore them or grow a pair and tell them to go **** themselves.

Pro tip: these boards have a useful "ignore" function for posters you don't like. It won't work on me though

^ Scrolling, works on you like a charm and generally what I do, lol.

Also at one time I actually did start looking into putting something together for client-side ignore. It's very clear much forum software leaves much to be desired. If I do put someone, mod or admin, a user .. whoever on ignore, I don't want to see anything from or of them, whether I'm logged in or not, ah ... scrolling works wonders.

The forum software might not support it but being tech there's ALWAYS many ways to skin a cat, many ways to approach anything/eveything. One of the many awesome things about it, shrugs.

Anyway ... lol, yeah OP you'll end up spending A LOT of time with Google + the f'ing manual. When you talk it's clear you're an intelligent and funny woman. Hopefully stubborn too, keep plugging away and you'll figure it out.

Thank you.
I followed the steps, but at the next boot wifi wasn't enabled again. Then I saw in one of the comments to rfkill block bluetooth. That didn't work either. But then I realized that I had been trying to get a usb bluetooth dongle to work on this laptop but gave up. That was about the time this issue started, but whining, polluting, male me forgot. So I removed all the bluetooth packages and BINGO, WOO HOO upon restart wifi was enabled!!
Thank you all. It's been real.

male me forgot.

LMFAO again, ... errr, oops, sowwie.

Ps, ... face .. meet palm, palm ... face. On the brightside you got it figured out.

I'm going to reinstall network manager because along the way I tried a bunch of configuration changes and vi editing pages that were suggested to help but didn't. And I didn't always undo them right away, because I thought maybe it needed a few fixes.

[Deb-fan]

Gotta do it ...

Kinda seems like this is more an all over the place personal journal of whatever you happen to be doing, rather than any type of help thread that makes any sense, shrugs.

Yes, clearly peeps need to RTFM and also the FAQ's, every gnu/Nix forum since time began all have them. Much of what's covered should go without saying, the what you should do before posting, what information to provide when asking for help etc etc. Too few bother using such painfully obvious pointers. Starting to seem like the only thing read less than the manual is the FAQ's ... (edit: By many which waste their and others time in nix forums anyway.)

Only saying yeppers in the OP, ZERO worthwhile info provided, now as this thread has evolved if it can be described that way, a snippet here, random thing there.

OP with zero worthwhile, totally lacking very much needed, most basic info for anyone to want to bother even trying to assist you, tons of views, no replies, again thought ah why not, throw anything out there, surely this is something simple/stupid, poke the thread a couple times and the solution shall be found. HELL NO, turns out the situation was nothing like simple, this or that to do with bluetooth pkgs you installed at whichever point.

Of course no mention of anything of the sort, at least not at any time which could've been useful to people here trying to assist you. How exactly in the fark could you possibly think anyone could do anything to help you out in these circumstances ? It's a Debian gnu/nix forum, not a mind readers convention right ?

Anyway ... no worries, great you solved this, yep ... still think folks need read and follow the f'ing manual and the self explanatory, should go without saying FAQ's too. DO IT, JUST F'ING DO IT !!! FARK !

Lol ... pardon the outburst folks, just venting, dayum ...

Oops, ps ... are you/OP some oddball tarded-trollish type person ? Definitely is much in the way of weird and/or tarded activity afoot on this forum. Ah doesn't matter ...

[hillelana]

Now we know that bluetooth can stop wifi from starting. Maybe that will speed up someone's search for answers. If the admins think that this conversation was totally useless, feel free to delete it. It makes for amusing reading either way, but that's not the point of the forum.

[Deb-fan]

Yeah, do think it's got some funny bits and sure this should be kept, effort went into it. It should be used as a what not to do, how not to post or this is tarded or trolling activity example.

PS, more pointless venting: Honestly think OP's like yours should simply be deleted as spam, trolling posts. Should've let it sink into oblivion just out of general principle anyway. Totally useless, void of any basic info OP. Think rule of thumb in a better quality forum setting should be ...

Don't follow the common sense faq's ? WHAM ... deleted, warning and/or user-ban, shrugs.

I'm locking the thread now to prevent further deterioration. Thanks to the OP for posting their solution.
