Bug#756947: hp-wmi: wifi rfkill can't be reversed
results of request below:
/sys/class/dmi/id/product_name:HP Compaq nc6230 (PU984AW#ABA)
/sys/class/dmi/id/product_version:F.15
/sys/class/dmi/id/board_name:0944
/sys/class/dmi/id/board_version:KBC Version 40.22
However, I had a repeat of the hangup after a soft kill- even with
hp_wfi removed.
Not sure what to make of that. Same warnings on shutdown and startup
'waiting to fully populate /dev' resulting in a failed to set power on
IPW_2200 - request timed out - or words to that effect.
Cheers,
Al

- Without the hp-wmi driver loaded, the hard rfkill switch controls both
wifi and BT while soft rfkill only works for wifi.
- With the hp-wmi driver loaded, soft and hard rfkill switches can be
used to turn wifi and BT off and to turn BT back on, but wifi cannot be
turned back on without using the BIOS setup program.
(The full bug report is logged at https://bugs.debian.org/756947.)
This was reported against Linux 3.2, but I don't think there have been
relevant fixes since then.
Perhaps the hp-wmi driver should blacklist this model for wifi rfkill
(while leaving all the others features enabled). Does that seem like a
reasonable approach to fix this?
Ben.
Hi didn't quite have to get pencil and paper out to create a truth table
for this one, but nearly! Assuming assertions about no more firmware
becoming available and the latest firmware being run are accurate,
blacklisting this model seems like a reasonable approach to restoring
basic functionality.
Alan, can you provide the identifying information for this model:
grep . /sys/class/dmi/id/{product,board}_{name,version}
Ben.
