OK - in Void Linux it is now turning off my wifi card on a low level 
hardware manner, I say this because one its not the first time a Linux has 
done this,. I have a HP 6930p Elitebook with a touch light switch for the 
wifi. this time while I was trouble shooting radiotray, I command line 
tried to start it, /usr/bin/radiotray .. get a line 13 error, then I 
noticed my wifi went down when I tried to install something. pressing the 
touch light wifi switch is useless, I know because it seems to shut off my 
card on a hardware level, making the touch light switch obsolete. 

the way I work around this is just boot up into my other different copy of 
Linux then that gets it to turn my card back on. (dual boot) like I have 
done right now. only this time after I got my care turned back on again. I 
rebooted into Void Linux -- my NIC did not get turned on, even to the point 
of it did not register in connman as having a wifi interface, it only 
showed my bluethooth. 

is their a way to initiate the wifi card on at the command line ???
