[Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#494152: eeepc-acpi-scripts: Strange behavior of wlan button

[Fabio Pugliese Ornellas]

I have this on then off wireless behavior also. I had a quick look yesterday
at the script, and it will try to ifup the interface, but since I use
network-manager, ifupdown will not work, then it will disable the
wireless... Simply commented the line solved the issue.

The problem I have after suspend/resume now with my 900, is that the
wireless blue LED will light up, but wireless will not work. I'm still to
debug this.
