Hi all, I am trying to activate rfkill on the mainline kernel. After re-compiling the kernel and re-doing the console image I get messages during boot like cfg80211: Unknown symbol rfkill_blocked (err 0) I guess that means the wifi driver is not configured correctly for rfkill. Does anybody know how to fix that? Or do I need that power management kernel? Thanks, Kai -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/rfkill-tp3674396p3674396.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Hello flyingk, I am also very interested in knowing how to get rfkill to work on the Gumstix WiFi and Bluetooth adapters. I have posted questions similar to yours (in October 2010) and so far no response. Hopefully someone with inside knowledge will respond... I will be following this thread with interest...

I tried rfkill, didn't change my current draw at all. I have been looking for a way to turn off and then on the wifi chip, or at least put it in a low power mode. I too would love some resolution to this, but it has been over a year since I started looking for it. I believe some work needs to be done to the libertas driver. I looked at it and I don't believe it is completed. It has the low level function to put it to sleep, but I don't believe they are accessible from user space.

I can confirm that echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state turns off the blue wifi light, but the current consumption does not change at all. Holding the reset, however, drops the current consumption by about 40%: echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio16/value Of course, the wifi cannot be used again until next boot. Has anyone found a solution to disabling/enabling the wifi hardware without needing a system reset? -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/rfkill-tp3674396p4965659.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |
