[Bug 1313196] Re: Wireless switch not working on HP ProBook 450 G1

 

Mauro, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
please just make a comment to this.

** Description changed:

- Using Ubuntu 13.10 on a HP ProBook 450 G1 notebook.
- This system has a button to enable and disable the WLAN interface. This  button has a led on it: it's white when the WLAN is enabled, orange when it is not.
- Pressing this button, however, does not have any effect on both Ubuntu 13.10 and Mint 16 KDE (which is also based on Ubuntu 13.10).
- When I press this button, the following output is produced in dmesg:
