[Bug 1317388] Re: Wifi led won't toggle when enabling/disabling wifi on ASUS laptop with 14.04

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.15 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Wifi led won't toggle when enabling/disabling wifi on ASUS laptop with
  14.04

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is a common problem dating back to the 2008:

  http://askubuntu.com/questions/450750/asus-wifi-led-not-working

  There is a workaround for this, by creating additional files in
  etc/acpi and handling event by command:

  echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/wlan

  But in 14.04 I get access denied when trying to write to this file.
  This worked in 13.04 and 13.10 and in 14.04 is broken.

  Ideally, is there a chance to include this solution in Ubuntu:

  Less ideally - is there a way to get writing to
  /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/wlan fixed?
