Yes, I have the "Fn+F3" combination and a hardware switch for wireless connections. The hardware switch only seems to turn everything off, since it's light only goes off and with the "Fn+F3" I get no reaction.
I tried to check with "rfkill list all" what happens with the two options but it is just not regular. every time something else in the above mentioned list of devices switches from yes to no or the other way around. If you want a couple of examples, I can play around and save it to a plane text file! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822917 Title: Wireless network in network-manager applet always shows device not ready Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: hardware switch for wireless connections (wifi+bluetooth+mobile broadband) at my acer travelmate 8372 should enable/disable all three devices. it seems to work, partially, since the wireless network in network-manager applet shows "wireless is disabled" or "device not ready" ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: network-manager 0.8.9997+git.20110721t045648.36db194-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-7.9-generic 3.0.0 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-7-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl Architecture: amd64 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Date: Mon Aug 8 22:17:35 2011 Gconf: IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Alpha amd64 (20110803.1) IpRoute: default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 proto static 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.104 metric 1 Keyfiles: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true WimaxEnabled=true ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-08-08 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/822917/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
