[PATCH 0/4] Topstar ACPI LED Workaround

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Darren,

On Topstar U931 Notebooks, an issue prevents the WLAN toggle key from
being properly managed by the Embedded Controller and successfully
disconnect the adapter. A specific ACPI method allows to toggle the WLAN
LED state regardless.

These are barebone laptops, sold under quite a lot of brands and
configurations, with different firmwares and so on. I can only say for sure
that this issue is present for all the models sold under a specific brand,
that's why I'm reluctant to enable this by default with a DMI check.

Thus, the new `led_workaround` option registers this LED with the
corresponding subsystem, making possible to use a software-based trigger
(rfkill for instance to synchronize the LED with the softkill state).

Thank you for your time,
