persistent disable of wifi radio when using overlayroot
I am using overlayroot on 18.04LTS to create a kiosk, and one of the things I need to do is to be able to permanently enable and disable the wifi radio.
Of course this is simple when not using overlayroot as I can just do:
rfkill block wifi
rfkill unblock wifi
I cannot use overlay-chroot to do this:
overlayroot-chroot rfkill block wifi
overlayroot-chroot rfkill unblock wifi
As it errors:
rfkill: cannot open /dev/rfkill: No such file or directory
And so what I would like to do instead is to programatically update the file or whatever rfkill uses to remember it's settings, but I cannot find this file.
Does anyone know where rfkill stores the devices that it is blocking ?
