[Bug 556404] Re: Disable bluetooth on boot for thinkpad_acpi doesn't work

[Lasse Riis]

I am seeing the same problem on a week-old Ubuntu 10 install

Created file /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad.conf:

#disables Bluetooth entirely
options thinkpad_acpi bluetooth=disabled

On every boot, BT still lights up. checking dmesg yields the error:

# dmesg | grep blue
[9.363108] thinkpad_acpi: rfkill switch tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: radio is 
blocked
# echo disable  /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth 
# dmesg | grep blue
[9.363108] thinkpad_acpi: rfkill switch tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: radio is 
blocked

But it seems radio is blocked is only a problem during boot, or when
the module loads or whatever, as the echo/proc command executes fine and
kills BT LED.

Not sure how I re-open the bug.

Regards, Lasse Riis

[Bug 283625] Re: Bluetooth on IBM Thinkpad automatically gets enabled when Ubuntu is restarted

[Lasse Riis]

Confirmed still a problem on Lucid and TP X201i.

Even disabling bluetooth on the thinkpad_acpi module via modprobe.conf*
fails. Apparently because it is requested at boot time when the radio is
blocked. See bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/556404).

*) should be similar to/same as echo'ing disable into
/proc/acpi/imb/bluetooth or whatever

Possibly these two bugs should be joined...
