I also have such a problem since a couple of days. Also on a Dell Latitude E6400. /sys/devices/virtual/rfkill/rfkill0/state is always 2 after boot. It changes between 2 and 1 at every change of the switch’s position. This explains the above-mentioned wrong values for dell-wifi when booting with wireless turned on (i.e., no blocking). If I boot with wireless turned off (i.e., blocking on) then the initial 2 is correct and everything works as it should.
-- Wireless RFKILL defaults to on (wireless off) and can't be turned off. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
