Details

Description:
If RFKILL="hard" is set, net-auto-wireless/netcfg-wpa_actiond fails. It tries to enable/disable radio without checking weather this is possible (RFKILL="soft") or not (RFKILL="hard") and fails on hardware rfkill even if radio was enabled.

This may also applies for the old (deprecated) netcfg-auto-wireless.

Additional info:
* netcfg 2.5.2

Steps to reproduce:
* Set RFKILL to "hard"
* Try net-auto-wireless

Fix for netcfg-wpa_actiond:
See attachment.
