Hi all, (please cc) I recently (on a flight) I found out that when I boot with the hard-switch activated, so turning off all wireless activity on my laptop, the state is not correctly announced in /dev/rfkill (reading it with rfkill command, or my own gnome applet). All the devices seem to be in normal state but one. Here some outputs: $ cd /sys/class/rfkill $ ls rfkill0@ rfkill1@ rfkill2@ rfkill3@ rfkill4@ rfkill5@ $ cat rfkill?/name sony-wifi sony-bluetooth sony-wwan hso-0 hci0 phy0 $ and the three sony-* are the ones for actually turning on/off the devices, but they showed all soft 0 hard 0 at initial startup. Only phy0 (AFAIR) had hard 1. After turning off and on again the hard-switch the events were right. That is all with 2.6.31. driver iwlagn, Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN REV=0x54 Best wishes Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Norbert Preining <preining@xxxxxxxx> Vienna University of Technology Debian Developer <preining@xxxxxxxxxx> Debian TeX Group gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIMERIGG (vb.)
