Comment 10 for bug 979253

I have built another test kernel that I would like to ask you to spend some time for testing it. You shouldn't have any issues installing this one. This time, the kernel contains a new driver for the rfkill: amilo-rfkill. This is a new driver available on Linux kernel mainline, but not yet backported into Ubuntu.

You can find the new test kernel here:

  http://people.canonical.com/~henrix/amilo-rfkill/

Just download the packages and install them manually. Then, before booting into the new kernel make sure you remove the kernel parameters you added into your grub configuration (the "nonexec=off").

After booting into the new kernel, make sure you don't have the fsam7400 module loaded (i.e., don't modprobe fsam7400). You can confirm the module is not loaded by running:

  lsmod | grep fsam7400

This command shall not return any output.

Finally, just load the amilo-rfkill module:

  sudo modprobe amilo-rfkill

Please report back telling me if this new driver is working for you. Also, please send me the output of the following commands:

  uname -a
  cat /proc/cmdline

Thanks.
