["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tobias Stegmann, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (the one all the way at the top, and 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-3.15-rc8

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.

Title:
  [Lenovo Thinkpad X220] wireless switch doesn't generate an acpi event

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:        14.04

  
  I use a customized acpi event script to disable bluetooth on my Thinkpad x220, if I toggle the hardware wifi switch (not Fn+F5):

  $ cat /etc/acpi/ibm-wireless-switch.sh 
  #!/bin/sh

  test -f /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs || exit 0

  # Find and toggle wireless of bluetooth devices on ThinkPads

  . /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs

  # disable bluetooth on wireless activate to save battery
  if isAnyWirelessPoweredOn; then
      # Wireless was turned on
      logger "Wireless switch turned on: Disable bluetooth."
      echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
  fi

  
  This used to work fine with Ubuntu 13.10, however it stopped working with 14.04. More precisely the switch doesnt generate an acpi event anymore. To check that I used acpi_listen.

  $ acpi_listen -t 10
  # nothing happens here

  
  Using 14.04 with kernel version 3.11.0-19 from 13.10 the switch works fine again:

  $ acpi_listen -t 10
  ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00007000

  Thanks.
