Public bug reported: [Impact] With RTL8851BE and "Control WLAN radio" (in Dell BIOS setting) on, wifi function is not be disabled when we plug in the Ethernet cable. The issue is because the rtw89 driver doesn't have the hardware rfkill mechanism.
[Fix] Backport the Realtek patch in linux-next: https://lore.kernel.org/linux- wireless/20240724052626.12774-1-pks...@realtek.com/T/#m1361ad1d6125d64976677fea4ba2e3aff219d1ad [Test Plan] 1. Enable Control WLAN radio in BIOS setting 2. Boot into OS 2. Plug in Ethernet cable. 3. Check if the WiFi function being HW blocked [Where problems could occur] May disrupt the software rfkill. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-hwe-6.8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-oem-6.11 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-hwe-6.8 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-oem-6.11 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-hwe-6.8 (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-oem-6.11 (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Oracular) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-hwe-6.8 (Ubuntu Oracular) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-oem-6.11 (Ubuntu Oracular) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-oem-6.11 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-hwe-6.8 (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-oem-6.11 (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Oracular) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-hwe-6.8 (Ubuntu Oracular) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-oem-6.11 (Ubuntu Oracular) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-hwe-6.8 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-oem-6.11 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077384 Title: rtw89: Support hardware rfkill Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux-hwe-6.8 package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux-oem-6.11 package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux source package in Jammy: New Status in linux-hwe-6.8 source package in Jammy: New Status in linux-oem-6.11 source package in Jammy: New Status in linux source package in Noble: New Status in linux-hwe-6.8 source package in Noble: New Status in linux-oem-6.11 source package in Noble: New Status in linux source package in Oracular: New Status in linux-hwe-6.8 source package in Oracular: New Status in linux-oem-6.11 source package in Oracular: New Bug description: [Impact] With RTL8851BE and "Control WLAN radio" (in Dell BIOS setting) on, wifi function is not be disabled when we plug in the Ethernet cable.
