[Bug 1389268] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 20A8] Wireless switch key doesn't work

 

SergeiS, you would want to use 3.18-rc3 as rc2 has been problematic to
test with for many.

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 20A8] Wireless switch key doesn't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On my X1 Carbon laptop the wireless switch key doesn't work. It
  appears that the code in charge of handling the X1 Carbon adaptive
  keyboard is here and rfkill handling is there:
  https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio/+/refs/heads/togreg/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c

  Pressing the key generates no events (see below) and thus has no effect. So, it's either my stock kernel doesn't have it, or something else is broken. Nothing ever fires when I press all extra buttons including the wireless one:
  ls /dev/input/by-path/platform-thinkpad_acpi-event -lh
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 2 19:45 /dev/input/by-path/platform-thinkpad_acpi-event -> ../event7

  input-events 7
  /dev/input/event7
     bustype : BUS_HOST
     vendor : 0x17aa
     product : 0x5054
     version : 16641
     name : "ThinkPad Extra Buttons"
     phys : "thinkpad_acpi/input0"
     bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC EV_SW

  waiting for events
  timeout, quitting

  # acpi events fire for all extra buttons except the wireless one!

  ibm/hotkey LEN0068:00 00000080 00001101
  video/switchmode VMOD 00000080 00000000
  ibm/hotkey LEN0068:00 00000080 0000110e

  So, since nothing fires on both channels, it seems I can't manually
  bind the button to rfkill either.

  WORKAROUND: Add custom rule to /etc/acpi/events and bound handling to
  a different adaptive button that does generate a acpi event.
