Hi!
I have installed the latest build (8.1 rc2, android-x86-8.1-rc2.iso) on an MSI WindPad 110W. So far so good, most things seem to be working OK, but wifi and bluetooth are not on that list. I have read that this particular tablet has the ability to turn on and off the wifi and bt radios with rfkill, and that I should execute a series of rfkills and modprobes in order to get everything up and running, but the problem is that I cannot run rfkill. It appears as if it is not installed, but browsing through system files I can see the rfkill folders for both peripherals. 
On the other hand, if I use an external usb wifi card, I can navigate without any problems. But I want to use the internal module!
Does anyone knows how I can run rfkill? Or if there is another way for me to enable both modules?
Thanks!

Pablo

You may try to access it via /sys/class/rfkill.
For example, to check the status:

cat /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state

Enable it:

echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
