Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Topstar ACPI LED Workaround
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 18:17:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1508255487.git.gdouezangrard@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Darren,
On Topstar U931 Notebooks, an issue prevents the WLAN toggle key from
being properly managed by the Embedded Controller and successfully
disconnect the adapter. A specific ACPI method allows to toggle the WLAN
LED state regardless.
These are barebone laptops, sold under quite a lot of brands and
configurations, with different firmwares and so on. I can only say for sure
that this issue is present for all the models sold under a specific brand,
that's why I'm reluctant to enable this by default with a DMI check.
Thus, the new `led_workaround` option registers this LED with the
corresponding subsystem, making possible to use a software-based trigger
(rfkill for instance to synchronize the LED with the softkill state).
Thank you for your time,
