Hi all,
I'm experiencing a bad behaviour of rfkill / iwlang driver. Here the
description:
Kernels: 2.6.30.[5,6] 2.6.31
Hardware: HP EliteBook 6930p
Behaviour: once a working wireless is killed activating the rfkill button,
there is no way to turn off the rfkill and riactivate wifi network. Even a
reboot is not able to reset the situation; to get again the control of rfkill
button is to reboot under windows xp and activate wifi. After that I can boot
inder linux with wifi active and kill it with rfkill button and the loop
starts again :)
I'm pretty sure that this issue is present since some kernel before the one
I've reported, but I'm not sure about the versions.
I don't know if this is iwlagn or acpi related bug (or my fault), I'm
available for any test.
