Sometimes, the wireless interface will be shown soft-blocked in the output of rfkill.
We need to turn it on to prevent errors like this:

Copying network config files
Working on ad-hoc
Operation failed
An error occured while communicating with iwd

IWD provides a way to do this by turning on the adapter in iwctl:

iwctl
[iwd]# adapter phy0 set-property Powered on
[iwd]#

In iwd.py, we can use Adapter.power_on() to do this.
