The original bug is caused by a bug in WMI driver in kernel 3.5; however, with _OSI("Windows 2012") = true, BIOS no longer uses WMI to control wireless, and therefore it can be fixed by another kernel driver (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts- saucy/+bug/1303737).
I verified it on HP 242 G2 (LP#1303737) with two kernel versions and it works pretty well. -- 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/1118689 Title: HP envy dv4 - radio kill hotkey does not work Status in HWE Next Project: Confirmed Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Status in Fedora: New Bug description: We have a fix that we used on pre-installs.
