Dear folks,
I have an acer aspire one netbook with atheros wireless:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network
Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
After kernel 3.3.1(3.3.1-5.fc17.i686), the wireless does not connect automatically anymore
:(,
I have to push the switch on the side back and forth and after two or three moves it then
starts.
It used to work without this hack before in previous releases since a good while, and now
it does not.
[root@acer-aspire-1 ~]# uname -a
Linux acer-aspire-1 3.3.2-8.fc17.i686 #1 SMP Sat Apr 21 12:41:50 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
What do I need to do?
It was working before, but now it does not have. I have to push the switch from side to
side to get the wireless up, but before I did not. Is there a way I can get the default
behavior back up?
In FreeBSD and windows, the wireless comes up without problems, but only in Fedora. I am
triple booting this netbook.
Best Regards,
Antonio
