Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts Version: 1.1.0 Severity: important Tags: patch
After upgrading to 2.6.26-2 from squeeze, I found that my wireless no longer worked reliably. Wireless would occasionally function at initial boot, and would not work after Fn+F2. Following instructions from: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2008-August/000883.html I found that the following patch was needed to /etc/acpi/actions/wireless.sh to fix the problem. I have no idea if this is the correct or appropriate method to solve this problem, however it works for me. --- wireless.sh.orig 2009-05-08 22:07:38.000000000 +1000 +++ wireless.sh 2009-05-08 22:14:28.000000000 +1000 @@ -25,8 +25,8 @@ on|enable|1) if [ "$STATE" = 0 ]; then echo 1 > $wlan_control + modprobe pciehp pciehp_force=1 pciehp_slot_with_bus=1 detect_wlan - if [ "$WLAN_MOD" = 'ath_pci' ] || [ "$WLAN_MOD" = 'ath5k' ]; then # Atheros needs some handholding -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages eeepc-acpi-scripts depends on: ii acpi-support-base 0.109-11 scripts for handling base ACPI eve ii acpid 1.0.10-1 Utilities for using ACPI power man ii pm-utils 1.2.5-2 utilities and scripts for power ma Versions of packages eeepc-acpi-scripts recommends: ii alsa-utils 1.0.19-2 ALSA utilities Versions of packages eeepc-acpi-scripts suggests: pn aosd-cat <none> (no description available) pn gnome-osd <none> (no description available) ii ttf-dejavu 2.29-2 Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu- ii ttf-liberation 1.04.93-1 Free fonts with the same metrics a -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
