Hello Joey, i tested again: First with acer-wmi inserted (as always boot-state of wifi button is on): switching to off "rfkill list" is: 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes 6: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes (phy0-hard blocked goes to "yes" after 1 or 2 seconds, maybe yesterday i didn't wait long enough). Wifi doesn't work in this state, i checked. Switching to on "rfkill list" is: 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 6: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 7: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Wifi now works! After removing acer-wmi (so i loaded it only for initialisation), switching to off "rfkill list" is: 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes Back to on: 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 5: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no wifi works in state "on"- so acer-wmi is really needed only for initialisation. ideapad-laptop is _not_ loaded, the wifi switch works correctly nonetheless. > I thought the real situation back to BT on, Wireless on, right? yes, after switching to on everything is back to state after initialisation (wifi works). regards -- Florian Heyer - heyho@flanto.de
