Public bug reported:
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 on a HP Mini 210-2050NR and my wireless
connection was working fine, but there is a wi-fi button in the keyboard
that should have a white light when wi-fi was enabled and it was orange
instead.
After pressing the button to see if the light went back to normal, the system
froze (not even ctrl+alt+del would work) and I couldn't boot anymore either. If
I tried to boot in recovery mode, the last line that I saw was:
skip stopping firewall: ufw (not enabled)
But if I reboot on Windows and press the wi-fi button to turn the
indicator white, and then reboot again back to Linux, then I'm back to
the beginning: the system works fine, the indicator is orange, if I
press the button the system freezes.
My kernel is 2.6.38-11-generic and I have network-manager version
0.8.4~git.20110319t175609.d14809b-0ubuntu3 installed.
While I couldn't boot normally, I was able to boot with an older version
of the kernel.
