Christopher, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 638791 old and faulty rt2860sta [The self compiled rt2860sta works.] ** Project changed: ubuntu-eeepc-kernel => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294086 Title: WIFI-toggle on rt2860sta in kernel 2.6.27-7 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is an informational post regarding the eeepc_laptop - handling of wlan using the rt22860sta - module on the eee1000 Adamm, using "echo 1/0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state is currently exhibiting the same or similar errors with pciehp that were present in eeepc-control 1.3.3 on hardy. loading pciehp with "pciehp pciehp_poll_mode=1" in /etc/modules causes the system to hard-crash immediately upon echoing 0 or 1 to .../state, just like the original acpi-scripts did on eeepc-control 1.2.x (the ones that were not rt2860sta-aware and did all its functions on the ath_pci - module) leaving the loading of pciehp out of /etc/modules (ie not calling it with pciehp_poll_mode, or perhaps pciehp_force) causes the machine to work, but the wireless will not properly load/unload, with the same kind of error messages: ...
