[Bug 1258675] [NEW] hardware switch of wireless not working for Centrino Advanced-N 6235

 

Public bug reported:

I have ubuntu 13.10  64-bit running on a HP ZBook 15. The notebook uses an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) wireless adapter.
 
The wireless networking principally works. The issue is that it is not possible to enable or disable it using the hardware button. The only way is the software control (clicking on "Enable Wi-Fi").

BTW, when I click on "Enable Wi-Fi", it indicates the changes status of
the wifi radio by changing the colour of the light on the hardware
button. (This is the correct and expected behaviour. What is wrong is
that I can not change the status by pressing the hardware button.)
