I also have an older S205 with an E-350. With kernel 3.0, I just had do rmmod acer_wmi after system startup (and it really needed to load: after hibernation I had to modprobe acer_wmi and then rmmod to get wifi to work again).
Yesterday I upgraded to 12.04 and no combination of modprobing/rmmoding acer_wmi or ideapad-laptop got me wireless. My S205 has an Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (I threw the crappy ralink away), and even with an external wifi stick I can't get access (seems that if one device is blocked, nm-applet treats it as if ALL are blocked). In addition, my EFI setup is kind of manual, so the workaround from comment #80 doesn't even apply to me. So to recap: the upgrade to 12.04 left my old 3.0 kernel also installed. If I boot with that, I'm golden. If I boot with 3.2, nothing I tried could get me wireless. Should I upload my acpidump, dmesg, etc too? -- 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/+source/linux/+bug/875659/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
