wifi cards based on atheros chips running with madwifi-drivers[1] can't
diabled by pressing Fn-F5. This comes through a different structure in
/sys/class/net/[DEVICE]/* . The script /etc/acpi/ibm-wireless.sh calls
a function called toggleAllWirelessStates in the file
/usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs which normaly does the on/off
switch. The function gather information out of
/sys/class/net/[DEVICE]/device/power/state
or
/sys/class/net/[DEVICE]/device/rf_kill
'0' for off and '1' for on. The madwifi-driver puts the power in fo in a
different place
/sys/class/net/[DEVICE]/operstate
with 'up' and 'down' .
Changing the function toggleAllWirelessStates can help to fix this, see
the attached patch.
