Hi, I tried your kernel on a Lenovo Ideapad S12 with Ubuntu 11.10. "cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist* | grep acer" gives "# blacklist acer-wmi". This means acer-wmi is *not* blacklisted on my system.
"uname -rv" --> "2.6.38-12-generic-pae #51lp836865 SMP [...]" acer-wmi not loaded ideapad_laptop is loaded b43 not loaded Wlan not working, but if I load b43 Network-manager tells me firmware is missing (normal) "uname -rv" --> "2.6.38-02063808-generic #201106040910 SMP [...]" (Ubuntu mainline kernel 2.6.38.8) same situation as before "uname -rv" --> "3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP [...]" (Ubuntu oneiric kernel) acer-wmi not loaded ideapad_laptop is loaded b43 not loaded wl is loaded, driver for wlan card --> works out-of-the-box in a LiveUSB system for example, no need to download firmware as for b43... I don't know what you wanted to see. It is funny for me to see, that the acer-wmi module is not loaded with none of the kernel images, even if the module is not blacklisted. With Ubuntu Natty it was a must for me to put this module on the blacklist in order to have any wifi connection. If I remember correctly, after the upgrade to Ubuntu oneiric, my system used the b43 module and I had to blacklist the acer-wmi module again. However, on the same laptop, the Oneiric LiveUSB system always used the "wl" module and gave me wlan out-of-the-box. Then I purged the b43 stuff from my installed system and installed with the additional drivers tool a new driver (wl module), which gives me now a much more reliable wlan connection... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668234 Title: acer_wmi is blocking wireless on Ideapad S12 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/668234/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
