It seems that the reporter no longer has the hardware. It also seems
that rfkill is changing to a common infrastructure in later kernels.
Therefore we are unable to progress this bug any further at this time.
Thanks to Pietro for his help in diagnosing the issue this far.
Please move the bug to

Is that true? The description of the bug says you need to rmmod b43.
Maybe that was true for intrepid, but
I have an Acer Aspire 5021 and did a HOWTO for Dapper Drake years ago
for getting the wireless working with acer_acpi 0.3 and bcm43xx.
I have been using this old laptop as a server running CentOS for the
last few years and just reinstalled it with Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 64-bit.
I enabled the B43

Last note, for any reader: /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/rfkill/state
is not the right file, /sys/devices/platform/acer-
wmi/rfkill/rfkill1/state is (Carlos sent me a second message with the
right path).

To clarify a bit:
1) There was originally a plan to add some generic WMI based autoloading
to the kernel. The patches to do this (which I have floating about
somewhere) where dependent on other driver core changes that have not
yet made it in (still), unless I can come up with an alternative
Just noticed, on
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/laptops
/acer-wmi.txt , the following lines:
On Acer laptops, acer-wmi should already be autoloaded based on DMI matching.
For non-Acer laptops, until WMI based autoloading support is
Andy, may the fact that the patch doesn't work be related to the
migration to rfkill:

@Pietro -- at a very gross level the kernel generates events to
userspace when new hardware is detected, this triggers udev which
triggers modprobe which loads the appropriate hardware.
It should not affect initramfs as that would have been rebuilt when the
kernel was installed.
Could you

Leann, no news? Actually, I think it's a fairly simple patch! I'm attaching a
trial I made, since the driver itself has a very clear structure, but please
notice that:
- I never wrote a patch to kernel before
- I wasn't able to recompile the kernel, so I couldn't test it (actually, some
