Permanent rfkill

Commands like

rfkill block bluetooth

are not persisting on shutdown or suspend.

Is there a way to block wifi/bluetooth persistently?

Blacklist the module.

Re: Permanent rfkill

Indeed, options like these are on the table, but I was looking to see a "clean" solution.

At least I wanna learn what's the culprit that's re-enabling rfkill.

I have a hunch that rfkill makes changes to /sys/ which is a vfs residing in RAM. If my guess is correct, then non-persistence on shutdown makes sense, but not persisting even when suspending to RAM?

Re: Permanent rfkill

There's no "re-enabling", it's a transient state and the device/firmware defaults to "on".

but not persisting even when suspending to RAM?

Look at/post the system journal covering this and cc. if you've a parallel windows installation, see the 3rd link below.
