Description Bradley 2008-06-04 06:47:40 UTC
Description of problem:

Hal doesn't correctly read the state of the killswitch. NetworkManager logs the
error:

NetworkManager: <WARN>  killswitch_getpower_reply(): Error getting killswitch
power: hal-ipw-killswitch-linux returned 255.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.25.4-39.fc9.x86_64
hal-0.5.11-1.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start NM with wireless enabled
  
Actual results:

NetworkManager: <WARN>  killswitch_getpower_reply(): Error getting killswitch
power: hal-ipw-killswitch-linux returned 255.

NM doesn't respond when the switch changes state

Expected results:

No error message, and NM automatically responds to rfkill state changes

Additional info:

Looks like hal-ipw-killswitch-linux is looking for
/sys/class/net/<dev>/device/rf_kill but I have
/sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rfkill/rfkill0/state with 0 being off and 1 being on.

Ping?  I'm seeing the same with F8 on Fujitsu Lifebook S6510. 

Running with verbose, I see:

16:18:29.966 [I] hald_dbus.c:5037: OK for method 'GetPower' with signature '' on interface 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch' for UDI '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/ipw_wlan_switch' and execpath 'hal-system-killswitch-get-power'
16:18:29.966 [I] hald_dbus.c:3938: no need to enqueue
16:18:30.158 [I] device.c:1845: Removing locks from ':1.430'
16:18:30.160 [I] hald_dbus.c:3962: No more methods in queue
16:18:30.160 [I] hald_dbus.c:4025: failed with 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.NotSupported' 'hal-ipw-killswitch-linux returned 255'

Looks like it runs:

7749  execve("/usr/libexec/hal-ipw-killswitch-linux", ["hal-ipw-killswitch-linux"..., "getrfkill"...], [/* 36 vars */] <unfinished ...>

But looking source it looks like it should run:

/usr/libexec/hal-ipw-killswitch-linux getrfkill

But even then it looks like it wants to open /sys/class/net/wmaster0/device/rf_kill which doesn't exist.  Closest I can see is /sys/class/net/wmaster0/device/rfkill:rfkill1 which links to /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1.

Hope that helps.
