Daniel: Sorry to say, but it looks like you've got a BIOS bug. Every Dell laptop that is working with this can read the HW switch setting properly and key off that (bit 16 of the query 1 raw outputs if you're keeping track of dmesg's).
I don't think we'll be able to work around your bug. Check for BIOS updates in case this got addressed. If this was a machine that shipped with Ubuntu, please raise this on the linux-desktops Dell mailing list. -- [Dell Latitude D430, iwl3945] Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430809 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
