I just tested this fix on a fresh 9.10 installation (with new updates applied as of today, but no other changes from the stock iso) and Stefan Bader's ppa on my Eee PC 1000. There is no more kernel panic, and it disconnects from the wireless network, but the LED light stays on. Checking lspci reveals that the wireless card is no longer there. Does that mean that the wifi is no longer draining the battery when it is off? Why is the LED not turning off?
When I turn the wifi off in the BIOS, the LED turns off correctly. -- Turning wifi "off" using Fn+F2 on Eee PC with Ralink rt2860 results in kernel panic (rfkill) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404626 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
