Confirmed bug on Toshiba A135-S2386 using "02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)" and 2.6.31-2-generic
There are two method of enabling/disabling the wireless on this laptop: 1. softkey Fn+F8 2. toggle switch on the front of the laptop (with LED indicator) After booting: Method 1 does nothing. Method 2 does nothing. The following modprobe method listed by itchy8me enables the wireless: sudo modprobe -r -f ath5k sudo modprobe ath5k After this, method 1 does nothing (does not enable/disable wireless). Method 2 operates as it should, it disables the wireless (cannot ping google.com). However, the icon in the upper panel does not indicate the wireless is disabled. I added a shell script with the commands listed above to get wireless working -- atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395565 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
