List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 02:02:07 -0000 I have the same setup as this person here http://forums.freebsd.org/archive/index.php/t-29407.html the exactly problem is when issuing: wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf RF Switch LED on laptop blinks once and i receive message: bwn0: firmware version (rev 410 patch 2160 date 0x751a time 0x7c0a) wlan0: ieee80211_new_state_locked: pending INIT -> SCAN transition lost bwn0: status of RF switch is changed to OFF bwn0: please turn on the RF switch Now the problem is is that the aspire one bios has no bios control for explicitly en|dis|abling the rf switch, in fact, i cannot turn it off. When i switch it, it remains on (light is on) Ive tried editing if_bwn.c, removing the check for rf_onoff() but to no avail, ill have to read the source more in depth. I wonder what else i can do to resolve this issue. Extra Info: on linux (specifically archlinux), the rf switch doesnt do anything, doesnt even trigger a acpi event. On fbsd no acpi event is trigger either (debug.acpi.enabel_debug_object=1)
