Confirming that the workaround right at the top of the bug report works for me:
Add the following to /etc/rc.local rfkill unblock wifi rfkill unblock all modprobe -r acer-wmi However, as the OP points out, the network speed is horrible. It will stay at max. throughput for a while but will then drop down to less than 1Mbps after a time. This appears random - sometimes it will stay at max for anything up to ~20-30minutes but at others it happens almost straight after boot... I have found this post on the rt2x00 team's forum: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6186 ...which confirms the behaviour with the "rt2500pci" driver - it obviously affects rt2800pci too... For me (also using a Lenovo S205 which has the RT3090 card), Markus' Natty DMKS driver for rt3090sta *doesn't* work. It builds, installs and appears to be servicing the WLAN card, but I cannot scan for any networks (either with Network Manager or iwlist via CLI) nor add any manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875659 Title: RT3090 wireless conflict with acer_wmi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/875659/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
