I'm afraid your fix doesn't work for me. I'm running 8.04.1 on a 901.

Calling 'ifconfig ath0 down' does indeed give that message, but doesn't
freeze the computer. I made the change to the file and ran the script
manually, nothing froze, but the wireless didn't turn off either!

Using Fn+F2 still freezes with the OSD displayed.

Bug description:
Hi all,

I have installed ubuntu eee on my eee pc 901. I tried enabling the Wifi by using "fn" and "f2" but the OS freezes, nothing works including the mouse cursor. i have to hold down the "shutdown button" to switch off and restart. I using the "update manager" with a cable connected and downloaded all the latest updates, restarted, tried again but faced the same issue.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if you have, have you managed to fix it?

Thanks
