Title:
Dell XPS 15 (9530) - Wifi hard blocked on startup
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
My Wifi seems to be hard blocked when powering my notebook and could
not be unblocked via keyboard switch (Fn + print_screen) nor any other
hardware key. Only if I go to suspend mode and resume the Wifi is
unblocked.
Laptop model is Dell XPS 15 (9530) with Intel 7260 AC Wifi card.
I'm using Ubuntu 15.04, same problem with 14.04 LTS and 14.10. BIOS
installed: A08 (also had this problem with A06 and A07). Wifi is
working in Windows 8.1 without problems.
Output of cat /sys/kernel/debug/dell_laptop before suspending:
