Hello!
Found this helpfile in rfkill:
rob@N4RPS-D630-L:~$ rfkill --help
Usage: rfkill [options] command
Options:
--version show version (0.5-1ubuntu1 (Ubuntu))
Commands:
help
event
list [IDENTIFIER]
block IDENTIFIER
unblock IDENTIFIER
where IDENTIFIER is the index no. of an rfkill switch or one of:
<idx> all wifi wlan bluetooth uwb ultrawideband wimax wwan gps fm nfc
Apparently, 'wlan0' is not supported. Given what the help file says, I must stand corrected about wifi as a legal parameter for this command. Additionally, I'd run this rfkill command BEFORE inserting the USB adapter, so you don't kill IT, TOO.
As for the 'ifdown' command, try 'sudo' in front of it. Whenever you see 'Permission denied', it's probably because it's a 'super user only ' command...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
