Hi,
[Jaunty 9.04]
Running hal - 0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu4 here on a Dell Inspiron,
the bug still exists ! hal-system-smbi --st_wlan is constantly eating
30% to 60% of my CPU, though i even do not use Wifi (only ethernet). My
laptop is burning... Please do something about that.
How can i
I closed my report because I am now following the development for the Karmic

Jaume, thank you for testing. Indeed it is expected that this update
breaks the killswitch again, as it was in jaunty final. The backend
code which checks the status of the killswitch just doesn't work, so we
should rather disable it completely (and thus break the killswitch) than
breaking your

Martin, I reported the bug still exists in DELL Vostro 1720 earlier on
Thursday. I confirm that 0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu4 fixes the
problem and the WIFI now works with the latest updates from proposed.
Thanks so much for the fix. Let me know if I can help further with
testing in anyway.

Martin,
I can confirm that with the update applied the killswitch on my Vostro
1520 works the same now as with Jaunty final - that's exactly what you
expected.
Thanks a lot.
If there is an update to the hal-system-smbios utility, I will be happy to test
this one, too.

I'm unable to reproduce this regression, both jaunty-final and the
jaunty-updates hal work correctly with the killswitch in my Dell
Latitude D430.
I uploaded a jaunty-proposed hal which disables the st_wlan check again.
This might reintroduce kill switch problems for some Dell machines, but

Wireless now works but if I turn off the wireless connection with the

Thanks for the workaround Jaume.
For a permanent solution, we need to figure out how to make
hal-system-smbios --st_wlan
respond with the correct value when the rfkill switch is on or off.
