Hi,

I have just upgraded to 2.6.38 and discovered that I can't use my wireless
device (BCM4312 802.11a/b/g). I press Fn + F2, the bluetooth led lights
and after a second it turns off by itself. In dmesg I'm seeing the
following:

[   88.167212] usb 1-2.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 5
[   88.782330] usb 1-2.2: USB disconnect, address 5

I switched to 2.6.37 until I'll have some time to bisect this. In the mean
time I have attached the output of lspci, interrupts and dmesg.

Thanks,

I suspect it's WMI related. What is your machine?

Another thing you can try is to get usbmon traces under both 2.6.37 and 
2.6.38.  Instructions are in the kernel source file 
Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt.

I'm unable to get a usbmon dump on 2.6.37. Strangely, the only USB device 
making noise (on 0u) is my mouse's wireless receiver. I had no such problem on 
2.6.38 though.

I noticed your config has CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED disabled.  You 
really should enable it (although I doubt that it is responsible for 
this problem, since 2.6.37 works without it).

The 2.6.38 usbmon trace shows pretty much what you might expect: The 
device connects and is initialized and enumerated normally, then 2 
seconds later it disconnects.  We really need to see a 2.6.37 usbmon 
trace to compare for differences.

Can you try again?  If usbmon isn't working, there's something _very_ 
strange going on.

Today I had some time on my hands and decided to get this working.
Which I did. So the difference between 2.6.37 and 2.6.38 is that now I
have to invoke rfkill to enable my wireless device, because pressing
Fn + F2 toggles the hard and soft lock states of the device _but_ only
to 'yes'. Pressing the key combination again will only remove the hard
lock. On 2.6.37 it would remove both. For example:

On 2.6.37:
# rfkill list 0               # wifi disabled
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: yes

# rfkill list 0               # wifi enabled (via Fn + F2)
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

(rfkill events)
1301758599.537508: idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 0 hard 0
1301758600.561087: idx 2 type 1 op 2 soft 0 hard 0

On 2.6.38:
# rfkill list 0               # wifi disabled
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: yes

# rfkill list 0               # wifi enabled (via Fn + F2)
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no

(rfkill events)
1301758830.251541: idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 1 hard 0

Is there supposed to be a piece of software that listens for these
events and toggles the soft state whenever the hard state changes?

Thanks,
