[Bug 316651] Re: Missing /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/wlan prevents wlan from being disabled via hotkey

 

the array.org - kernel and the eeepc_laptop - module is using RFKILL for its wlan handling.
check in /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state 

however, it is broken due to a few things.

See the post here: http://www.ubuntu-
eee.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=467

you should see fn+f2 working if called from tty1-tty6, but be prepared
to catch a kernel panic.

Being tagged as invalid due to the specific nature of the bug report. It
is still being addressed.

Bug description:
On my eeepc 1000, /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/wlan is missing, and (presumably because of this) the wifi toggle hotkey doesn't work.  I am using the array.org Intrepid kernel 2.6.27-8-eeepc.
