Hi,
Hoping that is it possible: How to inject key stroke or "button pressed" in /devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/input/input16 ? Website https://xyproblem.info says I should tell what the original problem is. It is `rfkill list` reporting "hard blocked", not being enable to use WIFI, `nmcli radio wifi` reporting "disabled". Pressing "Function key with symbol of computer sending signal" has no effect. Which could be caused by the horrible state of keyboard. When keyboard is needed, is an USB-attached keyboard needed. Usual use case of the laptop is "headless server, server with SSH access". So I'm ask if export KEYCODE=42 echo $KEYCODE > /devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/input/input16 could cause "wlan radio enable"? Or should KEYCODE be another magic number? What also would be helpfull, is knowning if echo 4242 > /devics/platform/laptop_chipset/input/input17 could change brightness (or another visible effect) Regards Geert Stappers Below some information from the original problem. root@nero:~# dmesg | grep -e thinkpad -e iwlwifi -e rfkill [ 7.867099] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.26 [ 7.867103] thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/ [ 7.867106] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 8QET54WW (1.15 ), EC unknown [ 7.867108] thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad X121e, model 304579G [ 7.870746] thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are disabled [ 7.870778] thinkpad_acpi: Tablet mode switch found (type: MHKG), currently in laptop mode [ 7.870815] thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness control, supported by the ACPI video driver [ 7.870817] thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default...
