Bug Description
This is an old issue, solved by manual compilation and installation of acer_acpi http://
My notebook is an Acer Aspire 3023 WLMi
bcm43xx-fwcutter works very nicely when installed from Synaptic.
ACPI in Feisty cannot turn on my WiFi card until I have acer_acpi installed.
It would be nice if Ubuntu could come with an acer_acpi.deb, because almost no-one wants to compile it themselves.
A solution for Dapper, which works with modification in Feisty, is here: http://
lspci -v
