Acer Aspire 9303wsmi: WLAN + Keyboard
Hi all,
I managed to get WLAN on an ACER Aspire 9303wsmi native working !
As I found no other way else in the web, I will give you the info:
The WLAN-card is an Atheros AIL 5005G (guess you know it)
The driver is madwifi-driver withe the madwifi-tools. Maybe, you might know
this, too.
But I think, what you do not know: You need some special kernel-modul
called "acer_acpi" to activate WLAN at all. Any other way do not work !!
You need this module for all Acer Notebooks, because this tool activates the
switch.
You can find it here:

O.k., just compile it, get it loaded.
Now do the following command: for wlan on:
echo "enabled : 1" > /proc/acpi/acer/wireless
and restart network. This should work !
and wlan off:
echo "enabled : 0" > /proc/acpi/acer/wireless
So, this was the easy, Now my question:
How can I connect these commands to the buttons on the notebook ?
The keycodes are:
wlan on: 0x65
releasing: 0xe5
wlan off: 0x64
releasing: 0xe4
I checked with setkeycodes, and loadkeys, but I did not quite understand, how
this works. Any ideas ? Should this be implemented in the future ?
Best regards
Hans
