Wiedemann" Subject: Problem with AR5001 on eeepc900A after disable with RFKILL switch Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This problem is reported at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595586. Although not mentioned in the bug report, the kernel is 2.6.33. The initial part of the report is as follows: ====================================================================== After disabling WLAN on Asus eeepc 900A using rfkill button (Fn+F2) it does not get back into a working state without a reboot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot up eeepc900A with WLAN enabled 2. press Fn+F2 (rfkill button) to disable WLAN 3. press Fn+F2 again to enable WLAN Actual Results: ----- 1. lspci before rfkill 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Fast Ethernet (rev b0) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) ----- 2. lspci after rfkill 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev ff) ====================================================================== The curious thing is that the lspci output is different for both the wired and wireless cards. Any ideas on why setting rfkill should change data in this way? Thanks, Larry
