[Bug 875659] [NEW] RT3090 wireless conflict with acer_wmi

 

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot  AMD 64 on Lenovo Ideapad s205
(E-450)

Wireless is disabled in network manger.

In a thread on ubuntu forum i found this.

rfkill unblock wifi
rfkill unblock all
modprobe -r acer-wmi

It makes wireless work, but the network speed is awful, below 60kb/s and
my old eee netbook that's playing streamed internet-radio through same
router drops connections when i connect the s205.

I tried installing Wicd (removed network manager) with "rfkill unblock
all" in rc.local. It kinda works but network speed is unstable, falls in
speed after a couple of minutes, and ends up stopping completely.


I tried ndisgrabber blacklisting these drivers in: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist acer_wmi
blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2860sta

Ndisgrabber sees the adapter, but wireless does not show up in network manager. (reinstalled of course).
