ACPI for toshiba satellite L775
Hello,
I am new to linux and certainly new to mailing lists! I was directed
here by a friend who finally got to look at my Toshiba Satellite L775
running Debian-based Linux Mint (Cinnamon?) I was unable to get the
wireless card to activate despite having all the firmware apparently
installed. There were a lot of commands he was using that I do not
remember (although am happy to rerun and repost!) but said RFKILL had
reported the card hard blocked and since there was no physical switch
on the card there must be something else going on. A function key is
supposed to turn wifi card on and off I guess ACPI is reponsible for
this and is apparently an unsolved problem on the internet (thats when
he directed me here.) His support for this hypothesis was all my
function keys (brightness, volume etc) do not work. There is also a
glitch when closing the laptop lid, I cannot wake it or its crashing,
not sure but I guess ACPI is a related module. I have been asking for
help on the linux mint fourms at
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=133454 (I am also
new to fourms, this has been memorable issue.) Thank you for your time
and assistance!!
Sincerely,
Kevin
