Hi, sorry is long to answer.
No problem, I'm in no particular hurry. :-)
A6JC
Difference between the systems: A6J versus A6JC.
[kernel 2.6.24]
dmesg give me
iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present)
input: Video Bus as /class/input/input6
ACPI: Video Device [VGA] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no)
iwl3945: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2
iwl3945: Could not read microcode: -2

at boot time. ifconfig don't show my wifi interface.
ls -ld /sys/class/net/*/wireless/ respond nothing in that case...
apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
and wifi interface is reconize. hurray!
That's how it's supposed to work, yeah. :-)
I have also this error when apcid start.
modprobe -v asus_acpi
FATAL: Error inserting asus_acpi
(/lib/modules/2.6.24-1-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.ko): No such device
My acpi is not reconize as an asus one. Onto 2.6.22 I had this message :
Asus Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.30
unsupported model A6JC, trying default values
send /proc/acpi/dsdt to the developers
I have send /proc/acpi/dsdt to the developers 2 years ago.... But
default values works fine.
In fact, your acpi is recognized as asus. Your 2.6.24 kernel lsmod shows
module "asus_laptop", which apparently is the new asus ACPI support in
the kernel.
What the hell !!! I don't have nay more /proc/acpi/asus/mled. More over
I found only /sys/class/leds/asus\:mail. Only led for email is avaliable
(very usefull feature).
Do you have:
/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan
? That's the wireless LED. I think they've done some things to break
this and/or fix this up in the upstream acpi-support package (version
0.106), I will try to keep an eye on this.
Other thing is, wlan0_rename interface appears in "ifconfig -a" when
iwl3945 is loaded but udev set it to eth2 by reading mac address. But,
eth2 is now an unkown interface (with wrong mac address ie to many
digits) and wlan0_rename is ethernet interface. Very strange...
Changing wireless configuration from eth2 to wlan0_rename does nothing.
No way to have working network!
adding a file in modprobe.d with line "alias eth2 iwl3945" does nothing.
Wireless interface still remain wlan0_rename.
This is very strange. I have no clue how to fix that. :-/
Conclusion : I have to learn how use iwl3945 first. Probably there are a
way to set power on this interface ; rf_kill file don't exist anymore
and I can't find power switch and/or how to use ower/wakeup.
Do you have /sys/class/net/wlan0/operstate? If you do, that's the power
control!
Cheers,
Bart
