Hi there,
When trying to setup wifi on my DELL Precision M6300, I discover
that pressing the Radio Frequency Kill Switch (Fn+F2), reported some
bizarre stuff in dmesg:
[ 147.025486] iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On:
[ 147.025491] Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work.
[ 147.026488] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code
0x88 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 147.026495] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e008 <keycode>' to make it known.
which lead to:
$ sudo /sbin/iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated

pan0 no wireless extensions.
and then pressing it again:
[ 147.025486] iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On:
[ 147.025491] Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work.

1. It seems that Fn+F2 is not working as expected
2. If so, what should I do ?
3. Should I fill in a bug report ?
Thanks,
