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?
