Mario, subscribing you FYI. It seems that the st_wlan counterpart of the
previous standalone app doesn't work. However, apparently the killswitch
worked fine before, so perhaps these models were already handled by the
kernel's rfkill framework. I'm going to disable this part for now.

Thanks for spotting. So it seems that the wwan side of the fix was
confirmed to work, but we should disable the wlan bit again, since it
causes this regression.
I apologize for this regression, it's unfortunate that this didn't turn
up during testing -proposed.

Ah, using bug 394663 for tracking the regression fix instead.

Same problem here. Dell Vostro 1520 with ubuntu 9.04 amd64
After hal update 0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu3 my wifi stopped working.
Solved downgrading to 0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu1.
With the downgrade Network-manager still shows wifi networks after
switching off but can't connect.
I confirm the comment by Gerhard that
sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --st_wlan
returns always 1, irrespective of the position of thh rfkill switch.

Hello Martin,
the problem seems to be as follows: after your corrections the script
finally works. Before, it always yielded an exit code != 0, because of
the syntax errors.
Now, I tracked down the problem by printing more logs. It turns out,
that
hal-system-smbios --st_wlan
always yields 1
Gerhard,
I have submitted a bug report for the same problem you have encountered

You can force a specific version in synaptic using the ctrl-e key on the

Thanks for fixing the issue.
With the latest update in proposed the killswitch on my system (Dell XPS
M1330, Jaunty amd64) works fine, no errors reported and the wireless is
deactivated and activated automatically when switching killswitch off
and on.
Though, as Motin already mentioned, if
Uploaded, waiting for Steve or Colin to process.

Hey, I haven't been in to check in here for a while. The visible result
was that before the fix, the wireless would not activate itself
automatically after switching on and off the killswitch. It didn't fix
the issue of activating if the killswitch was enabled before suspend,
though. But one less
Martin, it worked fine some time before, but now it is not. I'm not sure when
exactly it stopped working as I rarely turn off wi-fi.
Switching off wireless disconnects from the network, but NM still constantly
tries to connect to the network.
Attached is an obvious patch which fixes the issue.
Ah, so it is a regression then. Would you be able to test a package in
jaunty-proposed?

I've noticed this typo on my Dell XPS M1330 running Jaunty after a
system crash. The system became unresponsive after Gimp asked to
allocate memory for a 400+Mb file. Then applets (NM and blueman
installed from PPA) start crashing and I had to kill X with magic SysRq

Hey Motin, thanks for discovering this! Do you know what the visible
effect of that is? I take it that it breaks your particular type of
killswitch? (I remember that more general bug a few days ago).
Can you please do lshal /tmp/hal.txt and attach that here, as a
reference? Thank you!
