On some HP Mini models, the hp-wmi driver loads successfully but duplicates wifi and bluetooth interfaces, already handled (respectively) by proprietary driver Broadcom 802.11 STA wireless and bluetooth driver. When the user soft-blocks any interface created by hp-wmi module, both will be turned off.
There's no need to load hp-wmi module if bcmwl module is installed. If you want to fix this you have to add: "blacklist hp-wmi" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf or you can apply the attached patch in /etc/modprobe.d/ directory. ** Patch added: "This patch blacklists hp-wmi module" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/658675/+attachment/2803442/+files/blacklist-bcm43_conf.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658675 Title: Turn off Bluetooth also turns off wifi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/658675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
