Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts
Version: 1.0.4
Severity: normal
This is on an Eee 901.
There are a couple of problems here:
1) When wifi is disabled, the blue wifi hardware light is still on,
but ra0 doesn't show up anywhere.
2) When I press Fn-F2 to turn on wifi, it appears to be turned on for
a brief time (seconds) and then goes back off. I can verify this with
cat /proc/acpi/asus/wlan. If I echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/wlan and then
restart network-manager, wifi comes on properly.
Perhaps this is related to instances of ath0 in
/etc/acpi/actions/wireless.sh? (Just a guess. On the 901, we use ra0
instead of ath0)
3) Pressing Fn-F2 does not appear to tweak the Bluetooth status at
all, as it does in the default Linux install on the 901.
The default Linux install has an OSD and Fn-F2 cycles through the
states:
* All wireless off
* wifi on, bt off
* wifi on, bt on
* wifi off, bt on
You can't really implement that in Debian without having OSD turned
on. I'd be fine if Fn-F2 toggled the states of both BT and wifi at
the same time.

The blue light shows if any woreless hardware is enabled. This
includes both the wlan and the bluetooth. If you don't use bluetooth,
disable it in the BIOS and the blue light will reflect the state of
wlan.
There is code in the package that enables/disables bluetooth, but it
only handles the hciconfig part. Hardware switching is still lacking
(unless you use a patched laptop-eeepc kernel module).

Your guess is right. This was fixed in 1.0.5 and further tackled in
1.0.6. Please reoppen the bug if you can reproduce it with the sid
package.

I've taken another approach. Fn+F2 is left to wlan only. Bluetooth can
be toggled separately via the fourth (rightmost) "soft" button above
the keyboard.
Some day, soomeone may write a nice GUI application/applet that can
handle all of the exposed "toggle switches" on the eee - wlan,
bluetooth, card reader, LAN, camera. Of these, wlan, bluetooth
(partly) and camera are supported by the scripts. Card reader is
available via the /sys interface, LAN - only through BIOS.
