I'd say that the rfkill rewrite killed my wireless :-( Bluetooth works at it whould, but not the wireless But now I have atleast found one way to get it working... I've built the rfkill utility, and with it I can get the wireless working... Here is the output when wireless works: [root@tmb-laptop rfkill]# ./rfkill list 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: acer-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Pressing the rfkill button gets me this: [root@tmb-laptop rfkill]# ./rfkill list 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: acer-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes And pressing it again gets this: [root@tmb-laptop rfkill]# ./rfkill list 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: acer-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no And after that I cant get wireless back until I again do a: ./rfkill unblock 2 (works only when acer-wireless is no/no and Wireless LAN is yes/no) Applying this patch: [PATCH] rfkill: fix rfkill_set_states() to set the hw state sent by Alan Jenkins does not help this issue either... Any suggestions how to fix the rfkill ? -- Thomas
