Bug Description

Hello,

this bug concerns my HP G60-468CA laptop. Since testing maverick amd64, the wireless button switch stays orange and refuses to turn blue to activate, and the wireless acess is greyed out on both gnome and KDE (Ubuntu and Kubuntu respectively) running on the latest 2.6.35 kernel. Installing the latest mainline kernal hangs on boot for all GRUB options (2.6.36-rc4) and renders sytem unusable.

All terminal configs failed to make this work (lspci and modprobe say that ath9k is in use and hardware is running and present...

Lucid lynx worked flawlessly.. I even popped the wireless hatch open to manually remove the wireless card and verify output again...

Please help!

(It might be a duplicate since the report failed on timeout on my last attempt to submit)

Output:

Your ath9k driver looks like its functioning normally. What I did notice is that your rfkill state is wireless blocked. There were some changes from Lucid to Maverick in the HP platform driver which is where rfkill state is maintained. You might be able to re-enable wireless functionality from the command line using:

sudo rfkill unblock all

Alternatively, there is likely a key or switch on your laptop that controls rfkill state.

The key does not function by default on maverick. It seems to not interact
with the system when initially disabled by kernel.

I'll try the command line and get back to you ASAP.

Thank you very much for the help

I can also confirm this issue and solution with an Atheros AR9285 did by doing the following:

When right-clicking Network-Manager in toolbar, "Enable Wireless" is disabled. This option worked flawlessly prior to updating to Maverick RC on 10-6-10.

Tried the following in a terminal:
norlando@wooglin:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
norlando@wooglin:~$ rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: yes

norlando@wooglin:~$ sudo rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN

At this point, right-clicking on the Network-Manager tool showed my wireless was now enabled, and in the process had actually had auto-connected to one of my saved networks!

The chip is a broadcom 4322, but this seems unrelated. Looks like an interaction with the BIOS killswitch info. There was a similar bug which affected Dell laptops that was raised against Lucid : bug #430809

Why would I do that ? The driver works just fine. I have been using it all day with wicd.

It's only the killswitch status that prevents network-manager from doing its job. If there were
an option to diregard the status, it would work :)

Well, I don't think the rfkill status is related to the driver. It is an interaction with the
bios as far as I know...

After the 2.6.35-23-generic kernel upgrade on maverick, I found the network-manager applet 2 options are greyed out and I can't disable/enable the wireless (as well as the entire networking).

However, it does work before the kernel upgrade @2.6.35-22-generic

Also, ifconfig wlan0 down does the job but the GUI not working is a bit of concern for Ubuntu/Linux beginners.

@Terry Wang
    Terry, it's unclear that this is a kernel issue or even related to this bug. If you are having issues, please file a new bug.

@Laryllan
   It's possible you have completely different hardware, please open a new bug.

@Cypher2
    If you are still having issues with this wireless, please try the latest Maverick updates kernel. You could also try the latest proposed kernel and the latest pre-proposed kernels. And while your in the mood to test kernels, you could try the mainline kernel. Any way, if you are still having this issue, please change the status back to New.
