[Bug 661423] New: wireless does not work on Lenovo S10-3t after latest kernel update
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661423 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661423#c0 Summary: wireless does not work on Lenovo S10-3t after latest kernel update Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Mobile Devices AssignedTo: mobile-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: prusnak@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development Blocker: --- I'm using Factory on Lenovo S10-3t. With older kernel version (unfortunately I don't remember which one) the wireless (ath9k) worked. After the update to 2.6.37-rc5-12-desktop it stopped working. I was poking further and I found it is probably a combination of rfkill and network manager issues. after boot "rfkill list" says: 0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: ideapad_killsw: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 3: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes Even if rfkill is set to off. Switching rfkill button on and off does not set the last phy0 hard block flag to "no". I am able to set this flag to "no" when issuing "rfkill unblock wifi" manually. "Enable wireless" menuitem is now enabled in nm-applet, but nothing happens after I click it. I am not able to get rid of Soft block even by issuing "nmcli nm wifi on". -- 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.

Switching rfkill button on and off does not set the last phy0 hard block flag to "no". I am able to set this flag to "no" when issuing "rfkill unblock wifi" manually.
The "rfkill" utility is supposed to manipulate the "Soft blocks" only. There must be some inconsistency in rfkill handling. It would be good to be sure that the "rfkill unblock all" helps and what acpi module is in use; found by "lsmod | grep rfkill". -- 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.

"rfkill unblock all" sets all states to no, only 2:ideapad_killsw: Wireless LAN has softblock to yes.
Maybe it would be good to try and set the master_switch_mode=0 and default_state=1 of the rfkill module [1]. Are there any parameters to set in ideapad_laptop module? It would be good to gather some debug information before reporting to <linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org> . [1] parm: master_switch_mode:SW_RFKILL_ALL ON should: 0=do nothing (only unlock); 1=restore; 2=unblock all (uint) parm: default_state:Default initial state for all radio types, 0 = radio off (uint) -- 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.
