[Bug 1158388] Re: 8086:4222 [Dell Latitude D830] iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch

 

emk2203, 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, please just make a comment to this.

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) 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-rc6

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.

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

** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing

Title:
  8086:4222 [Dell Latitude D830] iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: Radio disabled by
  HW RF Kill switch

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After one of the latest updates, the dmesg log shows that the above
  error message is generated in rapid succession, regardless if the
  switch is activated or not. rmmod iwl3945 or shutting Wi-Fi off via
  menu stops the error messages.

  The WLAN device is also not functional (as expected).
