Hi Mario, the general rule for patches on LKML is that you send them inline and not as attachment. A successful workaround for the ones with Exchange only mail account is to use git send-email. > --- drivers/platform/x86/compal-laptop.c.old 2009-08-17 > 07:01:36.244874430 -0500 > +++ drivers/platform/x86/compal-laptop.c 2009-08-17 > 07:02:15.012836625 -0500 > @@ -52,6 +52,7 @@ > #include <linux/backlight.h> > #include <linux/platform_device.h> > #include <linux/autoconf.h> > +#include <linux/rfkill.h> > > #define COMPAL_DRIVER_VERSION "0.2.6" > > @@ -64,6 +65,9 @@ > #define WLAN_MASK 0x01 > #define BT_MASK 0x02 > > +static struct rfkill *wifi_rfkill; > +static struct rfkill *bluetooth_rfkill; > + > static int force; > module_param(force, bool, 0); > MODULE_PARM_DESC(force, "Force driver load, ignore DMI data"); > @@ -89,6 +93,87 @@ > return (int) result; > } > > +static void compal_rfkill_query(struct rfkill *rfkill, void *data) > +{ > + unsigned long radio = (unsigned long) data; > + u8 result; > + bool blocked; > + > + ec_read(COMPAL_EC_COMMAND_WIRELESS, &result); > + > + if ((result & KILLSWITCH_MASK) == 0) > + blocked = 1; > + else if (radio == WLAN_MASK) > + blocked = !(result & WLAN_MASK); You are using spaces instead of tabs here. > + else > + blocked = !((result & BT_MASK) >> 1); > + > + rfkill_set_sw_state(rfkill,blocked); > + rfkill_set_hw_state(rfkill,0); > +} > + > +static int compal_rfkill_set(void *data, bool blocked) > +{ > + unsigned long radio = (unsigned long) data; > + u8 result, value; > + > + ec_read(COMPAL_EC_COMMAND_WIRELESS, &result); > + > + if ((result & KILLSWITCH_MASK) == 0) > + return -EINVAL; > + else { > + if (!blocked) > + value = (u8) (result | radio); > + else > + value = (u8) (result & ~radio); > + ec_write(COMPAL_EC_COMMAND_WIRELESS, value); > + } This else part is utterly stupid. There is no need to have an else statement. You already left the function. So get rid of it.

There might some good luck that the pointer is still valid at that time, but I highly doubt it.
