** Description changed:
I have a Dell Latitude E6400 with a rfkill switch on the right side of
the laptop. Wireless RFKILL defaults to on (wireless off) and can't be
turned off.
I'm running:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux
You can see here that dell-wifi / dell-bluetooth default to Hard
blocked:yes. I actually have just the physical switch listed as phy0
correctly shown with Hard blocked: no.
cena...@ubuntu:~$ rfkill list
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
When I change the state of the physical switch both the dell-wifi and phy0
change state - but my wireless is still disabled.
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Seems to be fixed in 2.6.32 - rfkill is still listing 2 switches, but
they are in sync and my WiFi works.
Best regards,
Cip
