[Bug 612454] Re: [Packard-Bell EasyNote] asus_laptop problem: wifi
Hi Ike, thank you for your efforts. I guess it will have to do it. Just an observation as an external... Why does a Packard-Bell laptop need an Asus driver (why not pb-laptop)? Is PB EasyNote based on Asus? Should I make an extensive test of all buttons, leds, etc. and report it to somebody (e.g. the developer of asus-laptop) to see how do they differ?

[Bug 612454] Re: [Packard-Bell EasyNote] asus_laptop problem: wifi
Hi Simon, I guess its because the same company or team to design the BIOS for Packard-Bell and Asus laptops. asus-laptop.ko will bind on an ACPI device whose HID is ATK0100 or ATK0101. You may find the string in the DSDT.dsl you posted. As I know, if a laptop has the ATK0100 in its DSDT and the behavior of the device is very similar. I do not have an Asus laptop but have a Lenovo SL400 laptops. I tried to enable the hotkey an year ago. Corentin Chary saw the DSDT and was surprised its looks like an Asus DSDT. Only few lines added and the hotkey works. For those extra functions for your laptop, you may try them and if some of them are no function, please file another bug and ping me on IRC. I will see what I can do.

[Bug 612454] Re: [Packard-Bell EasyNote] asus_laptop problem: wifi
Hi Simon, I am afraid that currently no good solutions for fix this situation because removing those two line will let wifi of some other laptops down. Are you ok with the dkms package attached for lucid? In future releases (Ex: Maverick) you can append options asus_laptop wlan_status=-1 in /etc/modprobe.d I will help Corentin Chary to maintain the wiki and hope that we can have a list for those methods. I set the status of this bug to Wont Fix since this is a real bug but unfortunately we have no good solutions. If the problem is solved, I will set the status to Fix Released. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Won't Fix -- [Packard-Bell EasyNote] asus_laptop problem: wifi https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/612454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

When asus_laptop is blacklisted (correct behaviour): - numlock off: 1 - End shift + 1 - Select till End - numlock on: 1 - 1 shift + 1 - Select till End When asus_laptop is not blacklisted: - numlock off: 1 - End shift + 1 - 1 (!) - numlock on: 1 - 1 shift + 1 - Select till End It's a pesky bug making it difficult to select things.
