[Bug 1399200] Re: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 (Asus R512C) - disabled in hardware at login

 

I installed 3.18 from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v3.18-vivid/.

No change. The function button will not toggle the hardware switch for
Wifi, however coming out of sleep will automatically turn the hardware
switch on.

Regarding the latest added tag, could a BIOS update solve this?

Title:
  Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 (Asus R512C) - disabled in hardware at login

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  To enable Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter I need to
  put the computer in sleep mode, then wake it up. Voila! The wifi
  adapter is activated.

  This is a Asus R512C laptop. The function key for enabling/disabling
  Wifi is not working, but I noticed waking up from sleep would
  automatically activate the Wifi device.
