Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
There have been many problems with the switch detection. But un Jaunty I
have been able to make wireless properly by not upgrading the hal
package, but since Karmic, network-manager cannot be used anymore.
This is a major problem, because I cannot see any workaround for
"normal" users that cannot use wpa_supplicant.
rfkill reports:
1: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
2: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
3: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
I have tried echoing 1 to /sys/devices/virtual/rfkill/rfkill1/state with
not success.
Is there anything that can be done to "force" the switch being detected
as ON until there is a permanent fix ?
