[Bug 910553] Re: Default Broadcom driver does not activate wireless, nm-applet says "wireless is disabled by hardware switch"

2012-01-01 Thread Otto Kekäläinen
This bug is actually dependent on bug #910536, where a non-working backlight in ACPI mode forces the user to boot the computer with kernel option "acpi=off". If the computer is booted without "acpi=off" the STA driver works just fine. Is there a way to enable the wireless card when ACPI is off?
