Comment 22 for bug 653891

Next update fixed the issue

Sent from my Galaxy S®III"Christopher M. Penalver" <email address hidden> wrote:Chuck House, 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 CD images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

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 following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested and remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the text:
needs-upstream-testing

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.

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

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  wireless switch, on laptop, has functionality inverted after the
  latest updates applied today.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  broadcom sta driver disabled and not working after update
  I applied the latest updates today and when I rebooted, My wireless broadcom driver is not working and the ifconfig does not list it either anymore, was working 8 min ago but is now dead. If I turn off the wireless with a switch and back on, I get a blue light but it remains disabled and greyed out on the network icon.

  Ubuntu 10.04, latest updates applied daily.

  I removed the driver and reinstalled it, it did not help at all.

  Also, my Truecryt gdecrypt stopped working.

  Update: it seems the wireless switch on the front of the laptop is now working backwards, in checking the daemon log I found

  Turning off the wifi so the light goes out:

  Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> WiFi now enabled by radio killswitch
  Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): bringing up device.
  Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: starting -> ready
  Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): device state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 42)
  Oct 2 20:09:20 chuck-laptop avahi-daemon[880]: Registering new address record for fe80::216:44ff:fe7c:fe60 on eth1.*.

  Turning the wifi ON the front of the computer so the light is on:

  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch
  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): device state change: 3 -> 2 (reason 0)
  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): deactivating device (reason: 0).
  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> Policy set 'Auto eth0' (eth0) as default for routing and DNS.

  Turning off the switch:

  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): taking down device.
  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop avahi-daemon[880]: Withdrawing address record for fe80::216:44ff:fe7c:fe60 on eth1.

  Oct 2 20:10:05 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: starting -> ready
  Oct 2 20:10:05 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): device state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 42)
  Oct 2 20:10:07 chuck-laptop avahi-daemon[880]: Registering new address record for fe80::216:44ff:fe7c:fe60 on eth1.*.

  Update, I found that if I boot the laptop up with the networking
  switch off, then, after I'm booted up, turn it on, it works.

  However if I reboot the laptop with the network switch in the on
  position I get the above issue with the switch being inverted and not
  working properly.
