Dear all,

Thanks for your help. I am afraid I am going to start a new thread, but 
since I am not receiving Launchpad e-mails at my own e-mail address I 
have no choice. Unfortunately it looks like my problem is one step 
before activation/inactivation by rfkill: my device really does not show 
up in lsusb unless I previously boot into Windows. Indeed I have 3 
rfkill<n> folders, one for sony-wifi, one for sony-bluetooth and one for 
5100AGN, which refers to the wi-fi Intel card and is not functional. The 
other two work perfectly. I have the file 
/sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/wwanpower, but no matter I echo 0 or 1 
in it, the device does not show up in lsusb. I think it is a 
UDEV-related issue, maybe distribution-specific. Has someone any 
experience with it?

Thanks a lot, cheers

Paolo Tosco
