Bug Description

Since I bought an AMILO Xi 3650 laptop some months ago, I always had to boot Vista to be able to turn WLAN and Bluetooth on and off via Fn+F1 (there's only one key for both, on Windows a window appears asking me which of them I want to be enabled).

In December I upgraded to lucid and at the beginning of January I suddenly noticed that the hotkey was working, turning both WLAN and BT on and off whenever I pressed it. Today I had to find out that it doesn't work anymore again (since I don't need BT most of the time, it could've already been broken for some days).

Okay, reopening, this is becoming weirder and weirder.

After some reboots, suddenly, it stopped working again. So I restored the default BIOS configuration, rebooted – and now I can't switch WLAN/BT OFF anymore!

Moritz Baumann, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one at the top) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Wow, I completely forgot about this bug report.

As I found out in the meantime, this problem only occurs if you use both Windows and Linux. On Windows, whenever the switch button is pressed, a popup appears which prompts you to select the devices you want to turn on/off. When you do, the driver seems to do something linux doesn't understand, as whenever you actually switch one of the devices on or off on Windows, you lose the ability to use the switch on Linux until you reset the BIOS settings.

Since I'm not using Windows anymore on that particular laptop, I cannot check whether the problem still exists. I suspect it does. However, since I'm not affected anymore, feel free to close this bug due to a lack of interest, if you want. ;-)
