The problem can be cured on the Dell XPS 13z (and maybe the XPS 15z also?) by removing the dell_laptop driver with "sudo rmmod dell_laptop", or by adding the model to the driver's rfkill blacklist table.
Mario Limonciello from Dell has supplied the attached patch, which adds the XPS 13z to the rfkill blacklist table. Does removing the dell_laptop driver also fix it for the XPS 15z? (If so, that model could also be added to the blacklist table). Would someone with a 15z kindly try "sudo rmmod dell_laptop" and report back? ** Patch added: "0001-dell-laptop-rfkill-blacklist-Dell-XPS-13z.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/901410/+attachment/3102434/+files/0001-dell-laptop-rfkill-blacklist-Dell-XPS-13z.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901410 Title: [Dell XPS L502X] Applying soft block to bluetooth hard blocks wlan To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/901410/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
