Hi all,

(please cc)

I recently (on a flight) I found out that when I boot with the hard-switch
activated, so turning off all wireless activity on my laptop, the state
is not correctly announced in /dev/rfkill (reading it with rfkill command,
or my own gnome applet). All the devices seem to be in normal state but
one.

Here some outputs:
$ cd /sys/class/rfkill
$ ls
rfkill0@  rfkill1@  rfkill2@  rfkill3@	rfkill4@  rfkill5@
$ cat rfkill?/name
sony-wifi
sony-bluetooth
sony-wwan
hso-0
hci0
phy0
$

and the three sony-* are the ones for actually turning on/off the devices,
but they showed all soft 0 hard 0 at initial startup. Only phy0 (AFAIR)
had hard 1.

After turning off and on again the hard-switch the events were right.

That is all with 2.6.31.
driver iwlagn, Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN REV=0x54

Best wishes

Norbert
