Bug description:
Upgrading to Jaunty, I found that network-manager would no longer let
me make any wireless connections - it turned out that it thought that
a killswitch was triggered (in /var/log/daemon.log). However, "iwlist
wlan0 scan" could see networks. Toggling the killswitch apparently did
turn the radio off and on, as evidenced by the response of "iwlist
wlan0 scan", but network-manager remained convinced that radio was
killed throughout.
I discovered that the acer_wmi rfkill device in sysfs was reporting
state="0" regardless what state the killswitch was actually in.
Investigating the modules website at
http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi/wiki/SupportedHardware revealed the
comment that the WMI implementation on the Aspire One does not do
anything. Based on that assertion, I did "rmmod acer_wmi", and
network-manager sprang into life and happily connected my network.
