Hi,

How do I access this file to edit?
I've created it on the sd card but to no avail.

Thanks

Ok I downloaded WinSCP.
Found RuneAudio IP
Login using standard ports
Login is "root"
PW is "rune"
Add code to the file as above.

Thanks

Hello
I'm hanging on to this post even though it's old
I would like to disable the wifi, I did the procedure above, but once I do the Reboot it restores the whole folder without the changes made and the wifi remains active.
Any ideas?

piero,

Changing the content of /etc/modprobe.d/disable_rpi3_wifi_bt.conf to:

##wifi
blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmutil
##bt
blacklist btbcm
blacklist hci_uart

will disable wifi and bluetooth.
