hello all, i don't know if this is the correct channel to report, but
from Slackware 13.0 (2.6.29.6) to 13.1 (2.6.33.4) the wireless button
stopped to work properly.
it is happening on 2 different hp machines: hp dv5-1220br (AR5001) and
hp dv4-2140us (AR9285).
basically i can't touch the wireless button, if i do that i will not
be able to recover the net, also the button color will not back to
blue, will remain orange.
also if i touch the button not even restarting the machine or removing
the battery the bluetooth subsystem come back.
on dv5 i have only linux, but on dv4 if i give up and enter on windows
just to restart bluetooth;
as i related before, at least on dv5 one it worked like a charm on older one.
please if anyone can help, tell me what can i do to help to track such
bug (what kind of output to send, maybe a downgrade, etc)
thanks in advance.

Try 2.6.30, 2.6.31, and 2.6.32 and see if you see the issue on one of
those. If so then you can use git bisect to find the culprit. I
realize this can be quite cumbersome, but without more information I'm
afraid this is as good as it gets. Instead of using Linus' tree you'll
want to use the linux-2.6-allstable.git tree since that will have the
extra version kernel revisions.

Hello currently i'm trying those other kernel versions. I'm grabbing
it from http://www.kernel.org/
for now i have about 3 kernels running ok or almost ok:
2.6.33.4
2.6.29.6
2.6.31.13
29 and 33 are default packages from slackware, and as i related before
by using 2.6.29.6 i get the perfect functionality of wireless
button/led (those hp machines have the led, and if i touch the led it
changes de color.. nvm)
today i got the 31.13 running; i have to say, maybe i have missed
something, because i lost sound and the 3d stuff. also ath5k.ko wasn't
created... but the bluetooth worked as expected, just as 2.6.29.6; i
am almost sure that i missed the kernel configuration, but fortunately
i've made a package (make targz-pkg) so i can fix it.
next i'll try the 2.6.32.15 and then 2.6.34, and with some hope find
when the problem began and report there.
thanks a lot for the guidance,

Once you narrow it down between kernel revisions then you can git
bisect yourself to narrow down the issue to the specific culprit
commit.
