Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala also suffers from this bug. However, the
workaround I applied in 9.04 (mentioned in the first post in this
thread) causes kernel instability in 9.10. I found out, that this was
because I put the blacklist command in the wrong file.
That's because the blacklisting should be done by editing the existing
/etc/modeprobe.d/blacklist.conf. And not by creating a new file named
blacklist.
Blacklist.conf by default already contains a list of blacklisted kernel
modules. You can simply add the following lines for acer_wmi:
# switch the wireless chipset on
blacklist acer_wmi
You can use the following command for editing:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
** Changed in: ubuntu
Status: New => Confirmed
