Found a solution (not a fix) for 900ha with kernel 2.6.38+. To turn wifi on, after Fn+F2 enables the device, you just need to force pci rescan:
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan and then load ath5k module #modprobe ath5k When the device gets turned off by Fn+f2 key I have to manually remove it from kernel. Otherwise it won't let to reload itself. ##first remove ath5k module, as it gets kernel panic when pci device is removed: #modprobe -r ath5k ##remove the wlan device #echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/remove ##rescan pci-bus #echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan So I had to make rules for acpid event 0x10 - and it seems to work fine. Also it doesn't need forced pciehp anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727204 Title: Wlan pci card hotplug doesn't work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
