Christopher, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  WIFI-toggle on rt2860sta in kernel 2.6.27-7

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is an informational post regarding the eeepc_laptop - handling of
  wlan using the rt22860sta - module on the eee1000

  Adamm, using "echo 1/0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state is currently
  exhibiting the same or similar errors with pciehp that were present in
  eeepc-control 1.3.3 on hardy.

  loading pciehp with "pciehp pciehp_poll_mode=1" in /etc/modules causes
  the system to hard-crash immediately upon echoing 0 or 1 to .../state,
  just like the original acpi-scripts did on eeepc-control 1.2.x (the
  ones that were not rt2860sta-aware and did all its functions on the
  ath_pci - module)

  leaving the loading of pciehp out of /etc/modules (ie not calling it with pciehp_poll_mode, or perhaps pciehp_force) causes the machine to work, but the wireless will not properly load/unload, with the same kind of error messages:
  ...

  Nov  5 12:16:19 minimeee kernel: [ 7765.561523] ERROR!!! BBP read R1=0xffffffff fail

  Nov  5 12:16:19 minimeee kernel: [ 7765.662853] ERROR!!! BBP write R70=0xffffffff fail
  Nov  5 12:16:19 minimeee kernel: [ 7765.663055] ERROR!!! BBP write R73=0xffffffff fail
  Nov  5 12:16:19 minimeee kernel: [ 7765.663257] ERROR!!! BBP write R81=0xffffffff fail
  ...
  etc ad nauseam

  Interacting with rt2860sta (via network-manager, like trying to switch
  AP's) while the module has been faulty unloaded like this will cause
  the machine to hard-freeze again.
