Similar problem here, on a Dell Latitude X1: # uname -a Linux x1 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Aug 30 13:47:21 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh touch /var/lock/subsys/local modprobe cpufreq-powersave modprobe dcdbas service haldaemon restart # lsmod|grep dcdbas dcdbas 12257 0 # tail /var/log/messages Sep 19 20:08:28 x1 NetworkManager: < info > Error getting killswitch power: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.NotSupported - Access type not supported Sep 19 20:09:04 x1 last message repeated 6 times Sep 19 20:10:10 x1 last message repeated 11 times ... # rpm -q libsmbios-bin (not installed) So I went ahead and installed it: # wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/bootstrap.cgi | bash (what a stupid way to install a yum repo! Piping a web-page to bash... I actually saved the script, and had a brief look at it before I ran it.) # yum install libsmbios-bin # rpm -qa libsmbios\* libsmbios-bin-0.13.10-1.fc7 libsmbios-libs-0.13.10-1.fc7 Now, my /var/log/messages reads: Sep 19 20:49:07 x1 NetworkManager: < info > Error getting killswitch power: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.NotSupported - dellWirelessCtl returned 4 Sep 19 20:49:38 x1 last message repeated 5 times Sep 19 20:50:40 x1 last message repeated 10 times So, I tried to restart 'haldaemon', and used the killswitch (Fn-F2) to turn wireless off and on, but the message didn't go away. I also tried restarting 'NetworkManager': # service NetworkManager restart But that didn't help either. I have NetworkManager-0.6.5-7.fc7 knetworkmanager-0.2-0.1.svn20070815.fc7 Anything else to try? best regards MartinG http://folk.ntnu.no/gronslet/blog/fedora-7-on-a-dell-latitude-x1/ On 9/19/07, Rogue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi Brian, > > Brian Millett wrote: > > Aaron Konstam escribío: > >> > > What is happening is the /usr/bin/dellWirelessCtl is what is being called > > and it > > needs the dcdbas module to be loaded.
