[CentOS] CentOS7 wireless config on command line on asus
Hi all, I'm trying to configure wireless on my Asus laptop running CentOS7. I see wlan0 when I type iw dev, but if I type ip link set wlan0 up I get the following error: RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill Any idea what is wrong??
