when i search for rfkill using an image that works
find / -name 'rfkill'

I get some files in /lib/ and other folders.
when i search with core-image-basic for rfkill, it does not exist.

how to add it ? is it a feature or sw package?

Use

rfkill list

to list all devices. Then (for example):

rfkill unblock bluetooth
or
rfkill unblock all

to unblock the bluetooth device or all devices (resp.).
