When I disable the b43 device in my laptop via acer-wmi (which in turn, calls into the laptops firmware), b43 physically cannot re-enable it (a not uncommon case on a lot of laptops). In which case, as far as b43 is concerned, the wireless radio is then in RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED, since b43 is unable to re-enable the radio on the hardware. So yes, it is quite possible for b43 to be in RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED. -Carlos -- E-Mail: carlos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
