How to remove hard block on every start is the question.

Anyone?

Cheers,

Toggle wireless via the mechanical switch or software?
In windoze it could be done with a simple batch file placed in the startup folder.

Hardblock as in a HP or Lenovo card?

[kode-niner]

Can you post the output of this command?

Code: Select all

modinfo iwlwifi

and

Code: Select all

modinfo wmi

[SHEEPMAN!]

Physical switch. (Hardware)

This is after switching wireless off /on

Checking a MK3 now with same drive.

[SHEEPMAN!]

19PHRZXAM w/ 4965 exactly the same (more or less...rofl)

Investigating some errors that flashed by.

Double post due to separate computers.

[UNCNDL1]

Jeff, this might not be the right wifi card for your unit, I had the same problem until I put in the proper card awhile ago thanks to Shawn's input...just saying...I have a 5100 card out of a MK3 CF-19 that's yours, if you think it will work

[Shawn]

Jeff. from your post

EDIT:CF-19VMRFX2M Bios V 4.20L11 EC 4.20L13 ME Firmware 6.0.21.1188 Concealed Mode disabled.

Bios V 4.xx is a mk4 not mk5..
Mk 4 needs a 6200 or 6300 card..

[SHEEPMAN!]

So Ignorance is Bliss Cattle Co. strikes again.

3 Linux/Debian programs all act the same. The 19P is Federal so a card was added. V is not on the old configurator....checking now. Thanks Cleve, probably going to need it. Seemed a little old (4965) for a 19P.

So, Search Ninja.....6200 Advance N for the Victor? (V) 1/2 height.

Umm I need to check the warehouse. 1/2 height rings a bell.

[SHEEPMAN!]

Search of the wherehouse (sic) yielded a 5100 so I'm good there. If it works. Thanks Cleve for the offer.....changing it now.

[kode-niner]

Oh well. I was going to suggest a tentative fix. Unblock it first then run this as root or sudo:

Code: Select all

 echo "blacklist wmi" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
