Tested with Atheros and Broadcom ( ...mpcie internal wireless controller ) kubuntu 12.04, 12.10 (ver <= kernel-3.5) wifi enabled/disabled - OK. Update to kubuntu 14.04. Wireless on/off switch - RIP... Set wapf flag not help: a) asus_nb_wmi - never load. b) set (edit/rebuild asus-wmi.c ) wapf values 0,1,4 in asus_wmi - do nothing expected and positive. Code in linux/drivers/platform/x86/asus-wmi.c ( line with asus->driver->wlan_ctrl_by_user = 1; ) was added after kernel ver. 3.5 (?) and damage switch - rfkill "Hard blocked: yes / Hard blocked: no" Fix tested with kernel 3.13.0-30 ( as I hope nondestructive for other models requested "wlan_ctrl_by_user" ) attached in archive. folder: test debug – just logs and source asus-wmi.c with extended trace info folder: fix_eeepc_wlan_switch Modified asus-wmi.c ( original ….linux/drivers/platform/x86/asus-wmi.c ) Config asus_wmi.conf for modified asus-wmi.c ( /etc/modprobe.d/asus_wmi.conf ) options asus_wmi wapf=0 Allow override/set wapf in asus-wmi.ko without asus_nb_wmi By default wapf=-1 and do nothing. Value wapf >= 0 set (override ) any other values options asus_wmi disable_wlan_auto_hw_switch_detect=1 1 – disable "wlan_ctrl_by_user = 1" and prevent explode my mind with message Hard blocked: yes instead of expected Hard blocked: no! 0 – do nothing with original code ( by default ) Reason for options? 1) I don't see wapf in eeepc-wmi.ko... and in future some xxxx-wmi.ko without extended config damage wireless lan for years or two for thousand users. :) 2) I don't like rebuild driver after every update :Very Big Smile: ** Attachment added: "I hope this help not only for my poor eee pc" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-raring/+bug/1277959/+attachment/4151167/+files/asuswlan.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277959 Title: [Asus 1015E] Fn+F2 is not working for activating/deactivating wifi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-raring/+bug/1277959/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
