It's not currently expected that the interaction will improve during the lifetime of these platforms. If it does, then this can be adjusted to only apply to the BIOS versions before the fix. Ok, pretty bored of this at this point. If the bios interface is unreliable then I'll just remove the rfkill support. I'm not going to continue adding machines to a blacklist some time after users find things are broken. Is this just as broken under Windows? -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@...f.ucam.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
