As the acer-wmi maintainer, I can reliably inform you this is _not_ a
duplicate of 319825 and needs to be reopened, as it is not resolved.

Basically, this bug seems to have spawned into three separate and
unrelated issues:

1) The original issue - wireless button on the front of the TravelMate
8000 doesn't work.

Given that the TM 8100 isn't supported by acer-wmi, I suspect the
TravelMate 8000 also falls into this category. So whatever issue is
causing the problem there, it is not acer-wmi related. And it is still
not resolved, as other replies have pointed out (and the bug in question
referenced isn't related to this, so I don't know why this was closed as
a duplicate of the Aspire One bug...)

2) Issue #2 - an aside about acer_acpi on the Aspire 3020 series needing
some magic to be autoloaded. Not relevant or related to the original
issue.

3) Issue #3 - broken wireless LED on the Aspire 1640 series. Appears to
have been fixed, likely due to a wireless driver issue. (and not acer-
wmi related, since acer-wmi doesn't support this laptop).
