Just noticed this... The WiFi button works, AFTER you've logged in. It really needs to work BEFORE you log in as well.
In addition, while the mute button changes colors when the sound is muted, the WiFi button does not appear to change colors when WiFi is disabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258675 Title: hardware switch of wireless not working for Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have ubuntu 13.10 64-bit running on a HP ZBook 15. The notebook uses an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) wireless adapter. The wireless networking principally works. The issue is that it is not possible to enable or disable it using the hardware button. The only way is the software control (clicking on "Enable Wi-Fi"). BTW, when I click on "Enable Wi-Fi", it indicates the changes status of the wifi radio by changing the colour of the light on the hardware button. (This is the correct and expected behaviour. What is wrong is that I can not change the status by pressing the hardware button.)
