Re: fix for atheros wireless

 

 hi Albert:

The problem that i have (as of 2010-02-07, with latest updates), is that
wireless will not start automatically (the wireless LED stays orange).
I have to de-press the wireless button twice (so that it turns blue),
for the wireless network to be detected.  Option (a) has no effect in
this regard, and as a side-effect of option (a) (noapic, nolapic)
instead of two processor cores being detected, the OS only sees one core
of a dual-core system.

I'm currently not having any suspend / resume issues.
