[Bug 248635] Re: acer_acpi is not used by default (on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1650G)

[Pietro Battiston]

Testing in 2.6.27-1-generic x86_64.

Module acer_acpi disappeared totally, but it's not a big problem, since
now acer_wmi (see conclusion of bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
source-2.6.17/+bug/60972) works perfectly.

However, the bug changed but is still here: acer_wmi must be loaded and wireless manually enabled:
   sudo su
   modprobe acer_wmi
   echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless

The following commands make it load automatically at boot:
   sudo su
   echo "acer_wmi wireless=1" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
   update-initramfs -u -k`uname -r`

however I still have no idea about what would be a clean solution (to
make it load only when needed).

Name of the bug should probably be changed, but I don't know how.
