Bug Description
== SRU Justification ==
The quite new Lenovo V330 is not yet completely supported by the
ideapad_laptop module. Without an explicit rule, this module assumes that
a hardware kill switch for wireless devices exists and thus sometimes boots
up with all devices hard blocked and no way to reenable them at runtime.
This requested patch has been sent upstream, but it is not in mainline as of yet.
Since this laptop is available now and the bug is a real blocker for
unexperienced users, this patch is being request as SAUCE.
== Fix ==
UBUNTU: SAUCE: Add Lenovo V330 to the ideapad_laptop rfkill blacklist
== Regression Potential ==
Low. This patch just adds an additon DMI entry.
== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
The quite new Lenovo V330 is not yet completely supported by the ideapad_laptop module. Without an explicit rule, this module assumes that a hardware kill switch for wireless devices exists and thus sometimes boots up with all devices hard blocked and no way to reenable them at runtime.
I have provided a patch to the kernel developers upstream: https:/
However, there is not much activity at the moment. Since this laptop is available now and the bug is a real blocker for unexperienced users, would it be possible to add the (quite simple) fix to the ubuntu kernel until it is accepted upstream?
