Same problem when using an external WLAN pcie module. Removing card and replacing back doesn't trigger rescan as it did previously(ubuntu 10.10...) by pcie_force boot option.
Workaround is calling: echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/remove > /dev/null echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan > /dev/null Where 0000:03.. is pci listing for related wlan card in lspci. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727204 Title: Wlan pci card hotplug doesn't work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
