Binary package hint: hal
In 9.04 an update of hal broke wlan on my Dell Vostro 1320. An update of hal solved the problem, but in 9.10 alpha 3 the problem appears again.
I'm not sure if the problem is exactly the same, but I'm also unsure of what information from logs to provide. If you can point me in the right direction I'd be happy to supply more information |
Binary package hint: hal
In 9.04 an update of hal broke wlan on my Dell Vostro 1320. An update of hal solved the problem, but in 9.10 alpha 3 the problem appears again.
I'm not sure if the problem is exactly the same, but I'm also unsure of what information from logs to provide. If you can point me in the right direction I'd be happy to supply more information.
In 9.04 the command
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/dell_wlan_switch org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.GetPower
would return
method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.75 reply_serial=2
int32 0
but in 9.10 I get
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetPower" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch" doesn't exist
I can scan the wireless network with sudo iwlist, so the driver is in place and working correctly.
When booting from a live CD the wireless works without any problem. Does the live CD check for the status of the kill switch?
