I have this exact same issue on Linux Mint 16 KDE (based on Ubuntu 13.10) and an HP ProBook G1 450. However in my case, I don't have to use FN+F12, but I have a dedicated button with led (orange = wifi disabled, white = wifi enabled). This button doesn't do anything, though, although it turns orange when I do "rfkill block 0" and white when I do "rfkill unblock 0".
When I press the button to switch wireless on and off, nothing happens, as I said, but I see this in dmesg: [ 135.505274] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0). [ 135.505285] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known. [ 135.690922] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0). [ 135.690932] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246143 Title: [HP Pavilion g7-1260us Notebook PC] "hp-wmi" module does not toggle wireless To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1246143/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
