ath6kl_sdio blocked by RFKILL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Have built the ath6kl_sdio driver for an Cortex-A5 chip using the linux-3.6.9 kernel
File system built using Yocto  and Busybox RF-Kill.

Kernel Config contains:

CONFIG_RFKILL=m
CONFIG_RFKILL_LEDS=y
CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT=y
# CONFIG_RFKILL_GPIO is not set

When I do

# ifconfig wlan0 up.

I get the error message:

ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

If I run "rfkill list" I get

1: phy1: wlan
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no


If I try to unblock using "rfkill unblock all" or "wifi" or "wlan", the soft block remains.

Any clues?

Looking through the Busybox rfkill code, this seems to generate an event.
What is supposed to react to this?
Could there be a rule, which is missing?
