With mainline kernel 2.6.31.3 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31.3/ normal functionality is restored. I.e. independent on whether I boot with killswitch on or off, I can now turn on and off bluetooth by killswitch and/or software. The main difference that I see now is that the hardware killswitch only adds and removes the 'hci0' device. The hard block on 'dell-bluetooth' stays on "no" all the time. bluetooth-applet sets 'dell-bluetooth' soft block to yes, and also removes 'hci0' if it is present. So this functionality is correct. What remains are small inconsistencies in the bt-applet menu regarding the BT state but this is minor. -- MASTER dell-bluetooth - confusing/contradictory bluetooth killswitch status / rfkill behaviour - potential regression in dell-laptop.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445462 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
