https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=383309 Summary: ThinkPad WLAN kill switch doesn't work Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: funtasyspace@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- On my Lenovo ThinkPad T60p, the WLAN hardware kill switch doesn't work as expected. I am _NOT_ using NetworkManager, but the traditional ifup method. The problem seems to be, that the wlan interface is not properly brought up/down when I use the kill switch. Testcases: 1.) I boot my system with the kill switch turned off. Using ifconfig I can verify, that the wlan0 interface is not there. Next I switch the kill switch on and check using ifconfig again, the interface is still not there. I have to manually call 'rcnetwork restart' to bring the wlan0 interface up. 2.) I boot my system with the kill switch turnen on. Using ifconfig I can verify that the wlan0 interface is up and working. Next I switch the kill switch off. Network isn't working anymore, I can't surf the web any longer nor connect/ping other machines in my local network, _BUT_ the wlan0 interface is still listed using ifconfig and has it's IP address still assigned. 2.a) I have to manually call 'ifdown wlan0' to enter the expected system state. 2.b) If I switch the kill switch on again (skipping 2.a), the wlan0 device is still listed via ifconfig and has it's IP address assigned, but it isn't working. I can't ping other machines. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
