Also note that it can't turn the mobile broadband off as well.

This is not a kernel's but acpi-support's bug.

/etc/acpi/events/ibm-wireless should respond "button/wlan WLAN 00000080 00000000"

additional info for #6:

/etc/acpi/events/ibm-wireless better check if it's a thinkpad model at first, or this generic WLAN key will affect other laptops too.

Hi, @Michael

I assigned to you because I noticed you are the maintainer of Debian's acpi-support package, and we grab updates from Debian. Sorry for not explained.

btw, I sent that package to you and debian acpi dev list at Dec 25 2014, no response yet.. could you please take a look?

While this is true for a lot of packages, it's completely the opposite for
acpi-support. Upstream for acpi-support is Ubuntu, Debian adds a lot of
changes to the Ubuntu version, but those do not make their way back.

Yes, I saw your email, but with Debian's freeze I haven't spend any time on
new packages lately. Normal workflow will resume shortly.

I don't believe the change to /etc/acpi/ibm-wireless.sh is correct.

+rfkill list | grep tpacpi_bluetooth_sw || exit 0

If a machine has wireless but no bluetooth antenna, this change has the affect of preventing the switch from toggling the wireless state. That's not what we want to have happen here.

@Steve, thanks, here is the v2 patch only acts on new using-general-acpi-event ThinkPad models.

Adam Lee (adam8157) wrote :

additional explanation of the v2 patch:

that "rfkill list | grep tpacpi_bluetooth_sw || exit 0" only skips new using-general-acpi-event and having-no-thinkpad-bt models, which falls back to the state without this patch, wifi could be toggled(but bt couldn't), so it's safe and what we expect.
