I'm running Debian 9 on HP Pavilion dv8000 with an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card inside.
When I turn on the system ip addr shows that the related wlp6s0 interface is down.
However, when I try to bring it up using ip link set wlp6s0 up I get the following error:
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
I don't have rfkill installed, so I cannot use it to diagnose/fix it.
What should I do?

On Manjaro, I had turned off the wifi from the settings. Settings can be accessed by right clicking on the wifi symbol.
