Hi all, the dell_laptop kernel module creates an rfkill device that reports the wrong state:
$ readlink /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0 .../../devices/virtual/rfkill/rfkill0 $ cat /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/state 2 This prevents the use of NetworkManager, since it relies on the rfkill data from the kernel when disabling the part of its user interface that allows the user to scan for and connect to wireless networks. ### $ cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/Network-Manager.state WLAN..=false # when I set it to true and restart the NetworkManager its alwas resetting to "false". # In the contect-menu of the nm-applet its greyed-out, so I cannot switch on. ## $ rfkill list reports alwasys for Bluetooth and WLAN: Hard blocked: yes # when I try to set it with "rfkill unblock all" nothing happens. # But remove the kernel-module "dell_laptop" WLAN and Bluetooth is getting working. # I found this Bug upstream, and I get this bug with the last Kernel-Updates "2.6.32-22" http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544319 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #544319 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544319 -- Wireless RFKILL defaults to on (wireless off) and can't be turned off. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523143 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
