Comment 26 for bug 319825

After a number of rounds of debugging with Stefan (thanks for your patience) I think I have a workable patch for this issue. Basically it appears that the Aspire One has hardware rfkill support and layering the software rfkill support over this simply disables the radio permenantly. The patch adds a new quirk type for having hardware rfkill and enabled that for the Aspire One. Could those of you with this hardware test the Jaunty kernels below and report back. If you have swrfkill enabled it should be announced in the dmesg. Please test with the acer-wmi module loaded (which it should automatically), please indicate whether the wireless works at all in this state and whether the rfkill switch works too. Kernels are at the URL below:
