Describe the bug

I have enabled the DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_STARTUP="bluetooth nfc wifi wwan" line in /etc/tlp.conf

The Bluetooth gets disabled but the WiFi doesn't.

Both should get disabled at startup.

Hi. I can't read your output, the link doesn't work.

EDIT: no matter, I could fix it myself.

Does

wifi off

work?

vrgovinda commented 6 months ago

Does

wifi off

work?

Do you mean DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_STARTUP="bluetooth nfc wifi off wwan"

linrunner commented 6 months ago

No, your config is correct. I meant you should execute the command

wifi off

in a terminal and check if it actually turns Wi-Fi off.

Also please show the output of another terminal command:

sudo service tlp status
