It seems that enabling soft blocking on virtual instances of rfkill is sticky. For example (using 2.6.31-rc4), rtg@lanai:~$ uname -r 2.6.31-4-generic rtg@lanai:~$ rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no rtg@lanai:~$ sudo rfkill block all [sudo] password for rtg: rtg@lanai:~$ rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes rtg@lanai:~$ sudo rfkill unblock all rtg@lanai:~$ rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Shouldn't I be able to unblock everything at one fell swoop? As long as dell-wifi remains hard blocked, wireless will not reconnect. I've observed this behavior on both iwl3945 as well as iwlagn. Dunno if its driver specific, but I suspect not because I see similar behaviors on platforms with bluetooth. rtg -- Tim Gardner tim.gardner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
