rfkill list

Show the software and hardware radio switches

Every wireless device has two kill switches: a soft block that software controls and a hard block that a physical laptop switch or key combo sets. This command lists each device, its type, and the state of both blocks. A hard-blocked device cannot be unblocked from software at all.
