Public bug reported:
For my laptop (Acer Timeline 3810t), after upgrading to 2.6.31, the
RFKILL switch now defaults to on (wireless disabled) on every boot. It
works if I manually turn off the switch.
The switch is a toggle switch, and it used to default to off under
2.6.30/alpha 2.
I am using the iwlagn driver. The card is an Intel 5100.
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100
Kernel driver in use: iwlagn
Kernel modules: iwlagn
I have tried using the RFKILL utility found here -
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill, to no avail.
The wifi device is "hard blocked".
This is annoying because I need to use wifi everytime I use my laptop,
and there is no programmatic way to enable it.
Thanks!
