Public bug reported: Some hp systems have faulty wmi 0x05 interfaces (HPWMI_WIRELESS_QUERY); however, BIOS still reports 0x05 is supported and it will be used in hp- wmi instead of wmi 0x1b (HPWMI_WIRELESS2_QUERY). This causes "rkfill block" and "rfkill unblock" fail to change the state of wireless devices in these particular systems.
HP defines wmi 0x05 as "This command is deprecated starting with Bios09 platforms and is replaced by Command Type 1Bh. Check Features Reporting (Command Type 0Dh, Bit 3) for new command support." ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Alex Hung (alexhung) Status: In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249256 Title: hp-wmi calls WMI 0x05 instead of WMI 0x1b interfaces in new BIOS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1249256/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
