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

[Andrew Henry]

I have an Acer Aspire 5021 and did a HOWTO for Dapper Drake years ago
for getting the wireless working with acer_acpi 0.3 and bcm43xx.

I have been using this old laptop as a server running CentOS for the
last few years and just reinstalled it with Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 64-bit.

I enabled the B43 proprietary driver after the fresh install, but the
'acer_acpi' bit isn't working.  I used acer_acpi 0.3 at the time of
dapper drake, so did some searching, found newer 0.11.2 acer_acpi, found
that it is replaced with acer_wmi, and then found this bug, that
acer_wmi should be working by default on Acer laptops.

It doesn't.

will try modprobing acer_wmi tonight.
