[qubes-users] netvm doesn't recognize physical hardware switch state
does it work in plain Fedora? your problem most probably is not directly related to the network card itself. it could be caused by bios settings and wrong acpi config in kernel. I used to have the same problem when I first tried Qubes R2 on Lenovo Yoga 2 13. ideapad_laptop module back then would work for all models except for my Yoga. nothing could help but patching the module and recompiling dom0 kernel. then around kernel version 3.18 it was fixed upstream and Qubes kernel has been good for me ever since. live distros based on Debian stable ( kernel version 3.16) can never initialise the built-in wifi card. i found the patch on some Ubuntu forum. you haven't provided any information about the kernel and Qubes versions that you've tried but I hope this information can be helpful. and check your bios settings just in case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] netvm doesn't recognize physical hardware switch state
Hi, Running rfkill list all I get: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes But this state doesn't change if I turn the wireless switch on or off. The machine is a Thinkpad T410. Netvm is running a near vanilla Fedora 23 template. I am wondering if I need to assign other hardware to the netvm in order for it to see the state of the hardware switch? Currently it has the Network controller and the Ethernet controller. I tried a few general solutions for other distros but they have not been entirely applicable to Qubes. The drivers appear to be enabled properly when I check with lspci -v, and the NetworkManager does list wireless appropriately with 'Wi-Fi is disabled by hardware switch' So it seems like recognizing the switch is the core issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Boris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
