SRU request submitted: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2018-June/093251.html
** Description changed: + == SRU Justification == + The quite new Lenovo V330 is not yet completely supported by the + ideapad_laptop module. Without an explicit rule, this module assumes that + a hardware kill switch for wireless devices exists and thus sometimes boots + up with all devices hard blocked and no way to reenable them at runtime. + + This requested patch has been sent upstream, but it is not in mainline as of yet. + Since this laptop is available now and the bug is a real blocker for + unexperienced users, this patch is being request as SAUCE. + + == Fix == + UBUNTU: SAUCE: Add Lenovo V330 to the ideapad_laptop rfkill blacklist + + == Regression Potential == + Low. This patch just adds an additon DMI entry. + + == Test Case == + A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter. + The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug. + + The quite new Lenovo V330 is not yet completely supported by the ideapad_laptop module. Without an explicit rule, this module assumes that a hardware kill switch for wireless devices exists and thus sometimes boots up with all devices hard blocked and no way to reenable them at runtime. I have provided a patch to the kernel developers upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199855 However, there is not much activity at the moment. Since this laptop is available now and the bug is a real blocker for unexperienced users, would it be possible to add the (quite simple) fix to the ubuntu kernel until it is accepted upstream? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774636 Title: Lenovo V330 needs patch in ideapad_laptop module for rfkill To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1774636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
