Hiya, No worries about the late reply... was running around for the last couple weeks at various events so haven't had a chance to test any other suggestions yet anyway. 'Twas brillig, and Johannes Berg at 09/05/11 09:36 did gyre and gimble: >> > [root@jimmy ~]# rmmod dell_laptop > I'm pretty sure this one's at fault, see below. Looking at the only commit available for this module on this cycle I see: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git;a=commit;h=a3d77411e8b2ad661958c1fbee65beb476ec6d70 dell-laptop: Toggle the unsupported hardware killswitch It is found on Dell Inspiron 1018 that the firmware reports that the hardware killswitch is not supported. This makes the rfkill key not functional. This patch forces the driver to toggle the firmware rfkill status in the case that the hardware killswitch is indicated as unsupported by the firmware. This looks pretty suspicious to me (from the description) and sounds like this could be an unintended consequence of the changes here. I'll see if reverting this one fixes the issue. Thanks for the insights!
