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:
