DizL · 2009-03-05 03:43:17

Hi,

I tried everything...
I installed acpi-eee, eeemodules-hal
but i can't get wifi off (ath_pci) with fn
rest of fn + keys work fine
knetworkmanager doesn't find my wifi
and with wicd i can't connect to any secured network //

bash-3.2# /etc/acpi/wlan.sh
cat: /proc/acpi/asus/wlan: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
cat: /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/wlan: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

which pakages to use???

any ideas???

thnx,
DizL

Try adding 'rfkill-input' to your modules in rc.conf. You should be able to enable wifi with fn-f2 then.

Ok, now i can only turn on/off wifi but not with fn keys because there is a problem with wifi led
still i can't get this working

cat: /proc/acpi/asus/wlan: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
cat: /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/wlan: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

Any ideas???

Do your other function keys work?
What is the problem with the wifi led?

Ok,
I don't know how, but all fn keys now work
Only problem i didn't solve in my eee900 is no tap in my touchpad and i cannot connect to any secured wireless network with wicd
Someone did it?
Any ideas?

thnx!

I have the same problem with /proc/acpi/eee/*, it seems that it was removed from new kernels...
I don't know if the wifi chip is always active or not, but it is working fine. I use netcfg for network profiles, and no problem with wpa.
Anyone knows how to remove the blue led for the wireless indicator?

Well with kernel 2.6.28.7 on the 1000HE there is /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state which controls the wifi. I'm not sure if that is the case with the 900.

Oh yeah echoing 0 to that file shuts down the blue led of wireless. Great! Thanks a lot pyther!

No problem, you're lucky it shut downs you LED, mine turns of the radio, but the LED stays on. I suppose that is minor though.
