Same problem on 12.04 both with the regular ubuntu kernel and with the latest mainline kernel 3.4-rc3. Here's the kernel version: tsj@linux-laptop:~$ uname -r 3.4.0-030400rc3-generic The wireless card is broadcom BCM4313, the driver that loads with this kernel is bcma-pci-bridge; the 3.2.0-23-generic ubuntu kernel shows the same problem both with the brcmsmac driver and with the proprietary wl. I wasn't able to load the wl driver with 3.4-rc3. Here's the output of rfkill list all after I toggle the bluetooth switch, which disables the wireless: 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes Running rfkill unblock all re-enables the wireless. This is the link to the launchpad bug report with more details on my system: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/962621 I'd be happy to provide more information if needed. Cheers I think around 3.13 or 3.14 rfkill functionality for dells was greatly reworked. Can you retest? |
