Everytime I boot Ubuntu, my wifi lan is Soft-blocked. ( I did rfkill list, rfkill unblock wlan to verify the case. In addition I note that it is blocked some seconds after boot is finished).

how can I avoid this please ? What should I do to not block wlan ? Where is the thing to uncheck, to avoid this blocking ?

DRIVER it is iwlwifi.

NOTE In rc/local, I have added this:

rfkill unblock wlan
ifconnfig wlan0 up

But uit still results in the same state. Like if the rfkill block wlan is called seconds after rc.local.

Your wifi might be disable for several reasons. I suggest you look into the logs (journalctl -b -0 if you use a recent version of Ubuntu).

This might be a problem with your network-manager configuration (assuming you use network-manager to access Internet, which is the default in Ubuntu), which can be found in the folder /var/lib/NetworkManager/.

EDIT: It can also be a problem with your kernel driver. I found that on this site: Cannot change soft block setting to "no" for AR9287 Wireless Network.
