[Bug 383309] New: ThinkPad WLAN kill switch doesn't work
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.

And it works with NetworkManager. But for 11.1 we should be able to handle it more easily. There will be unified killswitch events. What we need is a additional udev rule that calls ifup for that event. Marius, please talk to Helmut about the event to use. -- 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.

For Ubuntu 8.04 they had a set of entries for "local.rc" which got them both working (I tried them and they worked). However, only the entries to hook up the switch work for the 2.6.27 Kernel, so I guess the Kernel maintainers have changed their approach for the LED support. Anyway, I hope you can add support in 11.2 for the Aspire One as well. -- 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.
