[Bug 701259] Re: dell-laptop module hard blocks wifi on Dell Vostro 1520
I had what appeared to be exactly this problem. When I toggle the fn-f2 key the wirless connection would appear to be enabled but as soon as I click the 'Enable Wirless' option it would disappear and the 'wireless connection disabled by hardware switch' message would come up. Whilst reading this post and in frustration I rapidly toggled the fn-f2 key (three times I think) and suddenly my wireless connection password dialog popped open and all was fixed. My wireless connection is now working fine (but I'm not prepared to touch the fn-f2 key again). I'm running 11.10. The problem only occured about two weeks after installing 11.10 and possible after I accidently toggled the fn-f2 key. Maybe this isn't exactly the same problem but the symptoms do appear to be identical. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701259 Title: dell-laptop module hard blocks wifi on Dell Vostro 1520 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/701259/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 701259] Re: dell-laptop module hard blocks wifi on Dell Vostro 1520
Hi all, I installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 to test that things work, as mentioned by Cody on #5. Differences: - This is a full hard-disk installation as opposed to running from the Live CD. - I'm running 10.04.3 with kernel 2.6.32-33 as opposed to Cody's 10.04.1 (I think?) with kernel 2.6.32-24. - I'm using the wl module, as installed by jockey-gtk (STA module) or by installing bcmwl-kernel-source package. Cody's original report on Maverick has the same module apparently, but comment #5 doesn't state which module he used for his Lucid test The reason why I'm focusing on the differences is that, even when using Lucid which was supposed to work, I still have the same behavior as originally reported, i.e. wireless shows as disabled until I remove dell_laptop module, at which point things start working automagically. I even went down to Lucid's original 2.6.32-21 kernel, installed the drivers and had the exact same behavior. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong would be appreciated.

[Bug 701259] Re: dell-laptop module hard blocks wifi on Dell Vostro 1520
To update this report, I tested the Vostro 1520 using Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty), with both a 2.6.38-8 kernel and the 2.6.38-10 one that is in the proposed repository. The problem as originally reported still occurs, i.e. wireless doesn't work (the panel applet says wireless disabled by hardware switch). Actually toggling the hardware switch has no effect. If the dell_laptop module is unloaded, then wireless works correctly. Furthermore, even without the dell_laptop module, everything else appears to work correctly. I tested: - Hardware wireless switch behavior (it enables/disables both bluetooth and wifi). - Media/volume keys. - Sleep key (and resume behavior). - Brightness controls. About the only thing that doesn't work (regardless of whether dell_laptop is loaded) is the battery indicator key (fn-f2). Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701259 Title: dell-laptop module hard blocks wifi on Dell Vostro 1520 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've finally got around to testing on lucid live cd. The issue is NOT present and wireless works fine after using jockey to install driver. This confirms that this a regression.
