No matter in which way I disable it. Both ways of controlling wireless work perfectly and consistently (contrary to some previous versions of ubuntu, e.g. 14.04). The only problem is that the system does not remember its previous wifi status (On or Off) and always starts with wireless networks On.
I do not use the automatic login on the machine and always have to log in manually (should the issue have anything to do with the way of the log-in procedure). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506888 Title: wifi status not remembered after reboot Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have HP ZBook 15 (1st generation, 2013) with ubuntu-MATE 64-bit; latest updates installed. I am presently using an ethernet cable network so I turn the wireless network off. After each new start or reboot of the machine the wifi radio gets always on and I always have to switch it off manually. The notebook uses an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) wireless adapter (I hope this is a hardware version, not a driver one). I think that the On status by default is not good for several reasons: - energy consumption is higher - security may be affected - more electromagnetic radiation in environment ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: linux-firmware 1.149 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-16.19-generic 4.2.3 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: MATE Date: Fri Oct 16 16:16:11 2015 Dependencies: InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-10-04 (11 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-MATE 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Alpha amd64 (20151003) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: linux-firmware UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1506888/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
