https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444364 Summary: NetworkManager still doensn't handle the WiFi RF kill switch Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nice@titanic.nyme.hu QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other The WiFi bugs of openSUSE 10.3 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=412194) and 11.0 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=382784) still exist, but now in a different form. Now on my HP Compaq nc6320, openSUSE 11.1's NetworkManager completely ingnores the RH key. If I manually enable the Wireless LAN in knetworkmanager while RF kill switch is off (thus radio is on), the the state of wlan0 and wmaster0 interfaces will remain "up". NetworkManager even attemts to connect to any access point if I instruct it, but timeout will occur of course. Similarly if the radio was shut down during boot, but wireless was not disbled in knetworkmanager, then turning on the radio won't make NetworkManager to set the wifi interfaces to the "up" state. I was unable the WiFi's behaviour during suspend/resume cycles yet, because suspend/resume simply doesn't work. My wlan card is: linux:~ # hwinfo --wlan 17: PCI 800.0: 0282 WLAN controller [Created at pci.318] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_4222 Unique ID: 2nea.rQsy1Ahusx3 Parent ID: z8Q3.2noQ7QwChBF SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:08:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:08:00.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "Hewlett-Packard Company Compaq 6710b" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x4222 "PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x135c "Compaq 6710b" Revision: 0x02 Driver: "iwl3945" Driver Modules: "iwl3945" Device File: wmaster0 Features: WLAN Memory Range: 0xe8000000-0xe8000fff (rw,non-prefetchable) IRQ: 219 (no events) HW Address: 00:18:de:a3:12:52 Link detected: yes Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d00004222sv0000103Csd0000135Cbc02sc80i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: iwl3945 is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe iwl3945" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #5 (PCI bridge) -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444364 User nice@titanic.nyme.hu added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444364#c1 --- Comment #1 from Tamás Németh 2008-11-14 01:42:06 MST --- This still applies to Beta-5. In addition I discovered, that in some cases (for example Compaq 6710b with an iwl3945 driven card) the RF kill switch does not work at all. This is because Windows - running on the machine prior to Linux - has turned down the card in a way that Linux cannot revert it. This may also apply to my Compaq nc6320, but I've never run Windows on it, so I cannot confirm this sucpicion. Take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=562077 (Sometimes even wired ethernet cards can be shut down by windows: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Realtek_8169_driver_problem ) Can you put a few words about these - from Windows migration related - BIOS resetting and power card unplugging tricks in the Release Notes or some other visible place? -- 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.

Here's a few duplicates: 446013, 419908, 398473, 443568. Helmut (our wifi driver hacker) says iwl3945 and iwl4965 currently have problems with killswitch reporting. Also, HAL doesn't have anything for iwlwifi killswitches. I plan to have a look at the killswitch bugs after 11.1, but for now, I don't see much point in reassigning to HAL (see the "NM should do it! No, HAL should do it!" arguments in 382784). -- 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.

I'm sure that it partially worked in 11.0 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=382784) but that report was closed as WONTFIX (probably will be fixed in 11.1 if it will be based on linux-2.6.27).
