no. it looks exactly as acpi problem. have you tried a Fedora live dvd/usb? If 
it doesn't work then the problem is not specific to Qubes. please try.

And there isn't a hardware (controller) that I am just not assigning to the 
netvm for it to see the switch state? That is handled by the same device as the 
wireless card?

with such a fairly fresh kernel you probably should make sure you also have the 
latest bios. some people also claim that resetting bios settings miraculously 
makes their wifi work in Linux.

Sorry for the spam, looks like someone has had a similar issue with vt-d on 
Thinkpads and fixed it in this thread: 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/7Q7C81AI3Aw/A8DrF2XqAgAJ 

I now have vt-d, but the wifi switch is still not seen. So I am ruling vt-d out 
as a possible problem. 

Back to square one!

Boris

Hey,

I haven't checked the BIOS settings in a while and recalled my previous issue 
here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/ulmQOVxkP38/nJYy6c2lAAAJ

Due to that I've had vt-d disabled (vt-x enabled) this whole time. 

Would you say that disabled vt-d could prevent the wifi switch from working? 

I looked over the rest of the settings and wifi is enabled everywhere it is 
listed.

(By any chance has there been any vt-d related display glitch workarounds in 
the last year? HCL says that T410 is all green :/)

Thanks for taking a look,
Boris

Hi,

I am using Qubes 3.2 and have currently tested with Kernel 4.4.14-11. I will 
double check the Bios settings, haven't thought of that possibility. 

Thanks for your reply, if you think of anything else please give me a shout!
