I have test kernels w/ iwlwifi here:

Well. The kernel boots, and the modules seems to load fine. There is a problem however - that I am unsure how to resolve.

No matter what I do, the driver reports that the Kill Switch is on.

There is a hardware-switch that is supposed to turn the radio on and off, but it does not matter if it is set to on or off - even if I reboot the laptop witih the switch in either position.

When I turn this switch, nothing happens, but tho feollowing is logged to syslog:

atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf1 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e071 <keycode>' to make it known.
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf1 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e071 <keycode>' to make it known.

If I try with Fn-F2 which is also supposed to turn the radio on, the following is logged:

atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x84 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e004 <keycode>' to make it known.
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x84 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e004 <keycode>' to make it known.


Not sure what I should set these keycodes to to actually enable the radio.

Also, I am not able to read the value of rf_kill:

# cat /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1c.0/0000\:02\:00.0/rf_kill
cat: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:02:00.0/rf_kill: Resource temporarily unavailable

Should this be reported to bugzilla - and if so, under which component - or is it more probably a hardware-problem.

(There are no options to enable/disable the radio in the bios btw.)
