This happened to my nephew's laptop, and I tracked down the problem. Details are here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg32938.html The attachment to that email is a Python script that restored wireless function on that laptop. Depending on your point of view, it could be more or less scary than pulling the battery. *** WARNING: that script has magic numbers hardcoded. If I were you, I would check that your DSDT has the same magic numbers before you even think about running the script. *** -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577114 Title: Wireless and Bluetooth switch does not work correctly on lenovo ideapad s10-3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/577114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
