Hi
I hav a dell inspiron 5100 and it has no hardware button device to
toggle rfkill.
The broadcom bcm4301 card has this feature and the driver sees it and
disables itself hard, wich can not be overwritten by software.
I tested a little bit with a hacked version always returning on on
rfkill pollling and that worked (partly, see next post)
I propose a module parameter to ignore the rfkill button setting.
I think the polling routine should not be registered if the button is to
be ignoerd.
If I want to send a patch for that, what would be better way to
implement it:
- putting some extern declaration in one of the headers (bcm43legacy.h
or main.h?) and test this directly within b43legacy_rfkill_init
- put a new filed in the dev structure for disabling the rfkill button?
- use enum { disable,enable, ignore} radio_hw_enable
bye
Ulf
