| |
Hi, just got a new HP dv5z laptop and trying to make sense of how everything fits together. The wifi button on this laptop doesn't appear to generate any keyboard event. I loaded the hp-wmi module, and that allows me to toggle the wlan and bluetooth in software, by writing to /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill[01]/state. But pressing the button still does nothing. What am I missing?
Also, disabling the wifi the first time turns the wifi LED from blue (active) to orange (inactive) which is what I'd expect, but re-enabling it leaves the LED orange. Again, what am I missing?
Without the hp-wmi module loaded, FN+F7 and FN+F8 would control the display backlight brightness. With it loaded, these keys do nothing. Seems there's some conflict between hp-wmi and ACPI. Any suggestions? -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
