Thanks for the answer; In fact, it wasn't loaded. I've inserted that module and the behaviour changed: now the rfkill switch reacts in the correct way and I'm able to turn on and off bluetooth system. But the behaviour of wifi sybsystem is still weird, (maybe for some faults on my side). Basically if the laptop starts with wifi enabled (rfkill off) wpa_supplicant can establish a connection, that can be killed by rfkill switch (both wifi and bluetooth seems to be killed). But when I turn off rfkill switch wpa_supplicant is unable to connect again; looking at syslog/dmesg I can see activity in bt stack, but no messages regarding wlan0. Any suggestion? dmeIn data mercoledì 16 settembre 2009 15:25:49, John W.
