As of Linux 2.6.31 (specifically, commit 1f87f7d3a3b42b20f34cb03f0fd1a41c3d0e27f3), the Linux kernel will return this error number for operations on wireless devices when the rfkill switch is enabled, this results in confusing error messages from 'iwconfig' or other commands (specifically, things like "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132") e.g. http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1271226 shows two users whose wireless cards don't work and are unable to diagnose the problem as a result of this error message.

Google (http://www.google.com/search?q="Unknown+error+132"+Ubuntu) reports 4000+ hits for users who've had this problem. It'd be really awesome to get some kind of fix out for this -- it's a serious problem that breaks peoples' wireless in a difficult-to-diagnose way. -- libc6 doesn't understand ERFKILL errno https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
