The rest can wa= it=20 > for 3.9. Hello Matthew, may I request that you include the patch sony-laptop: fully enable SNY controlled modems for 3.8 as well? I'd even like it to go to stable if you and Mattia agree. My rationale is: Making the driver set the same 3 bits which Windows set is obviously a bug fix and not a new feature. The fix is a simple oneliner, and is required for a number of "newer" laptops, where newer in this case includes most of 2012. Without this fix rfkill will fail silently, causing the wwan module to appear to be available but not working because the radio is disabled. This causes very hard to debug problems for end users and distributions. Ref the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D47751 See also the thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3D20402= 05 for an example of the problems this bug causes for end users.
