[clug-talk] Wifi Kill Switches

[Craig McLean]

Hello

 

The Wifi kill switch is accurately named.  After installing Ubuntu 10.04 I
tried it and it killed my wireless.

 

Here is the situation.  I was originally running Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook remix,
on that OS I recall that the Wifi kill switch worked properly.  I could turn
the WLAN on and off with a flick of the switch.  Now on Xubuntu 10.04 I
flipped the switch once and the WLAN turned off, never to turn on again.
Does anybody have any theories on what might be going on here?  Am I missing
kernel modules and key mappings?

 

The Acer Aspire 1 is a Model ZG5.  The stock WLAN card has been replaced
with an Intel 4965AGN MM1.

 

Does anybody have any thoughts?

 

Craig.
