Hi Alan.
I noticed you were last working on hp-wmi. I'm finding that
if I load hp-wmi then the wireless network does not work --- dmesg
output always says `iwlagn 0000:02:00: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch'
regardless of the position of the switch.
This machine has no bluetooth, just the IWL-AGN mini-pci card.
I've been testing with versions from 2.6.32 to 2.6.33-rc7, none work
with hp-wmi loaded.
I'm happy to provide traces, logs, etc., if that'll help --- just ask
for what you want.
Thanks Peter. I do have some worries about my patch that went into
2.6.33-rc1. What I can't see how this happens on 2.6.32, unless your
laptop completely inverts the hp ACPI interface.
I'd like to look at the output of "acpidump", but that may not help.
(Other acpidumps I've seen just pass the calls through to the BIOS via SMI).
Also try running rfkill
(http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill) on 2.6.33-rc1
or later. What do you see with -
"rfkill list" when your wireless is working, before you load hp-wmi.
"rfkill event" - this will stay running and log rfkill changes. What
does it show when you load hp-wmi?
"rfkill unblock wlan" after loading hp-wmi. Does it get the wireless
working? What does "rfkill list" show afterwords?
If acpidump doesn't tell me anything, the rfkill details might help with
crafting a work-around.
Regards
Alan
