The problem with the Atheros AR5007 wireless interface & hotkeys on the Fujitsu Amilo Li1718 has been a problem for quite some time now. Thanks to Assaf Paz over at http://www.amilo-forum.com who wrote the auto install script many Li1718 owners were able to get ubuntu linux working on this laptop. He continued to maintain his script up to the 8.10 Intepid Ibex release. I had to make changes & additions to his script here at http://www.amilo-forum.com/post,9727.html#p8610 to get it working with 9.04 Jaunty. In the case of 9.10 Karmic, for the first time the AR5007 wireless was being detected properly but still could not be turned on because the hotkeys still didn't work. Because of a number of changes in 9.10 Karmic, Assaf's fsca16xx.sh script which I had working with Jaunty didn't work with Karmic. I tried many times to get the acerhk module working in Karmic but was having many problems while browsing for clues I found this article at http://www.edbl.no/karmic/amilo_1718_wireless_in_ubuntu_9.10.txt which when i tested worked perfectly. I simplified the process by writing a small script "amilo-hk-lanon" and posted it here at the amilo forums http://www.amilo-forum.com/post,9727.html#p9708 It would be great if the problem with the hotkeys on this latop could be resolved especially now that the atheros interface now works.
