Title:
HP 635 - wifi doen't work (phy is hard blocked)
Status in Linux:
Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
This Notebook runs SLES 11 (SP1) with working wifi and bluetooth with working
light for key on Fn+F12. After installing Ubuntu 12.04 wifi stopped working.
I tried to track down the issue, as far as I can say there is an issue in
either ath9k or/and hp-wim
Problem: Hardwarekey Fn+F12 doen't change the light on the keyboard between
white (on) and orange (off). The light change while booting from orange (off)
to white (on) and stays there, no matter what I do!
There are four devices in rfkill:
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
6: phy1: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
9: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
10: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
device 9 and 10 are belonging to hp-wmi. If I rmmod the hp-wmi driver those
two devices are gone and Fn+F12 does nothing.
If driver is active Fn+F12 toggle 9 and 10 (light is not updated!) but not
the phy (dev 6) or hci (dev 0). Since hci is not blocked by default bluetooth
is working, but wifi is blocked on boot. There is no BIOS option in the HP635
to enable wifi!
Even worst if I call "rfkill unblock all" events occour for all four
devices, but hp-wifi (dev 9) and hp-bluetooth (dev 10) stay on soft
blocked: yes! Bluetooth unity gui element obviously scans for dev 10
and always report an deactivated bluetooth connection. (But Bluetooth
is working since hci0 is unblocked and running!)
There is a commit for hp-wmi which plays around with soft & hard block stats
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=c0b9c6494498014f28dbec37fe327bf016a91356
which could cause some of the problems above.
summery:
hardware button don't toggle wifi and bluetooth hardware blocks only hp-wmi
hardware blocks
software button toggle software blocks for some devs, but hp-wmi software
blocks aren't touched. It is impossible to have all blocks to "unblock"
