[Bug 1214059] Re: Wifi and bluetooth disabled at boot and hard to re-enable

 

Given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any
development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore,
we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further
testing. This is such a request.

We are approaching release and would like to confirm if this bug is
still present. Please test again with the latest development kernel and
indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the
following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to
Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from
Incomplete to Fix Released.

Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.


** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags added: kernel-request-3.11.0-7.14

Title:
  Wifi and bluetooth disabled at boot and hard to re-enable

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Network Manager says either "Device not ready" or "wireless is disabled by hardware switch" (it depends).
  Enabling Bluetooth in the control-center just enable it for like half a second and then it's switched off again.

  I have a combined hardware button for both Wifi and Bluetooth, it's red when it's disabled and blue when enabled.
  In this case it stays red even when I repeatedly press it (though the Bluetooth setting panel reliably indicate when it is hardware disabled, so I guess the color is only related to software lock).

  I manage to make it work again after playing with "rfkill
  [block|unblock] all" and messing around with network manager
  (disabling network and then re-enabling it...). I usually need around
  5 minutes to make it work.

  I did not have this problem on Raring. I had it on saucy with the 3.10
  kernel but it seems to be worse with 3.11 (I need to mess around for
  more time in order to make it work again).

  Feel free to ask if you need any additional test.
