[Debian-eeepc-devel] Wireless abrubtly stopped working on 1000

[Christoph Dibak]

I had such trouble yesterday.  I got alway a "Unknown Error 132" when i
tried to "ifconfig wlan0 up" on my 1005 HA.  The point was, that I've
accidental pressed the function key for enabling/disabling wireless
(Fn + F2).
Sometimes it's that easy ;)

Regards, Chris
