I found out that Ubuntu 8.10 already comes with the acerhk module precompiled. It just doesn't get loaded automatically. So I took care of that and now I can at least activate my wireless card if I do a:
sudo echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled I know there's a way to have this command run at bootup, I just have to find it again. I also downloaded the jaunty jackalope beta live cd and did a test run without the acerhk module and it seems that the problem remains the same with that version. -- Acer laptop & ipw2200: Recent upgrade breaks radio kill-switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
