Comment 37 for bug 204378

... almost a year later ...
I have a Samsung P35 wich is also handled by asus-laptop and since I upgraded to Intrepid, I can't toggle my wireless anymore, which I need sometimes when association with an AP doesn't work.

On my Samsung I can switch the WLAN off by pressing the WLAN key, but switching on doesn't work anymore.

Problem are cases where rf_kill=3 which is not handled in the scripts and so does fail here. On the Samsung you can switch independently hardware (wlan key with LED) and software switch (rf_kill).

I attached a diff to /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs which solved the case for me with acpi-support 0.114-0intrepid2 and kernel 2.6.27-11-generic.
