In addition to the software switch via rfkill, there's a hardware switch to turn wireless off. It's tiny, and its position at the right-side front can sometimes lead to inadvertently switching it. On my T410(currently broken, but that's another story), 100% of "error 132" are caused by activating the switch when jamming it into my laptop backpack. -- Philipp Dr. Ed Morbius wrote: > Two issues with a Thinkpad 410s running testing/unstable. > > Custom-compiled 2.6.34 kernel (to fix issues with Thinkpad > volume/brightness controls): > > Linux altaira 2.6.34-custom-1- #1 SMP Thu Oct 21 18:30:43 PDT 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux > > > 1: Wifi's stopped working.
