The bug was solved in the best of ways: not by adding a package, but by adding acer_acpi (now named acer-wmi) to upstream kernel (2.6.25) and backporting it to Hardy's 2.6.24. Yes, in Hardy it should just work.
Not in 2.6.17, oviously, but bug itself is fixed. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- No wireless on 64bit Acer laptops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60972 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
