You need to press C-M-Fn to escape the kmscon, M- on its own won't 
do.

I've run into this as well; there's an ugly patch of mine floating 
around that explicitly calls ‘rfkill’ on the interface even though 
Connman claims to do so automatically.

I'll dig up the 2-card machine that can reproduce this.

Kind regards,
