Hi Alan. I dunno what's happened, but I can no longer get the problem to appear. I've spent half the day today recompiling different kernels with different configs -- some that I *know* didn't work before -- and now they work. The only thing I can think of (and I can't see in the code where it could have happened) is that somehow getting the kill switch to work reset something in the NVRAM, and now it works all the time, regardless of whether rfkill and hp-wmi are in or out of the kernel in any combination. But that's far fetched, and I'm not sure I believe it. Sorry about this -- I really hate bugs that disappear after I start to investigate them, especially if I don't understand why. -- Dr Peter Chubb www.nicta.com.au peter DOT chubb AT nicta.com.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
