applied to git, will be in the next build. apologies for the delay. kernel-2.6.35.14-100.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.35.14-100.fc14 Package kernel-2.6.35.14-100.fc14: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel-2.6.35.14-100.fc14' as soon as you are able to, then reboot. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-14747 then log in and leave karma (feedback). kernel-2.6.35.14-100.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Not sure this is the same bug, but I just upgraded from kernel-2.6.35.14-97.fc14 to kernel-2.6.35.14-100.fc14, and wireless stopped working, ifconfig does not see my wireless network card. With kernel 14-97, it reports:

With 14-100, there is nothing listed. It's a Dell inspiron N7010 laptop, not sure about the exact wireless network chipset. I reverted back to the old (97) kernel for now and it works just fine. Any help is appreciated.

Description of problem: After booting and logging into an account, it is impossible to enable wireless in the notebook (Acer Aspire 1830T) by typing <Fn>-<F3> key to toggle wireless. The Fn-F3 keystroke successfully toggles Bluetooth on and off, but the WLAN consistently stays at [root@localhost ~]# rfkill list 0 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no , making it impossible to turn on wireless in KNetworkManager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64 kernel-2.6.34.7-63.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. login 3. attempt to toggle KNetworkManager "Enable Wireless" checkbox Actual results: Wireless LAN soft-blocked Expected results: Wireless LAN Soft *and* Hard *unblocked. Additional info: Similar behavior is reported in Bug 595931 and 597007. In 597007 the problem is tracked to the acer_wmi module wmi alias reading, [root@localhost ~]# modinfo acer_wmi filename: /lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.ko alias: wmi:6AF4F258-B401-42fd-BE91-3D4AC2D7C0D3 alias: wmi:67C3371D-95A3-4C37-BB61-DD47B491DAAB , while the first alias should read *should* read (42fd -> 42FD) wmi:6AF4F258-B401-42FD-BE91-3D4AC2D7C0D3 ,for consistency with the /sys/class/6AF4F258-B401-42FD-BE91-3D4AC2D7C0D3 directory. It appears this error is reintroduced in the aforementioned kernels.
