I'm testing using the 32-bit version by the way. Now what happens is that wireless cannot even be enabled at all. In Network Manager the checkbox "enable wireless" is unchecked. Attempting to check it immediately unchecks it and dmesg simply says "wlan0 not ready". That's the only output. Everything else in dmesg looks normal, from loading the firmware to preparing the device for use. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The rfkill output seems odd, mentioning "Acer Wireless" when the notebook in question is a Fujitsu notebook.

Yes, it looks like the rfkill interface from acer-wmi is blocked. So it turned out to be NetworkManager disable the wifi [1].

I then had to click "Show More" on the right hand side to show all the available networks, as only one network called "<hidden network>" was displayed.

Yes, it's possible! There have a old WMI interface show up in non-Acer machines that was detected by acer-wmi. Please provide acpidump and dmidecode of your machine on this bug: + acpidump > acpidump.dat + dmideecoe > dmidecode.log If confirm the WMI interface on your machine, then may need your help to find out which EC register changed when pressed hot-key. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I tried "rfkill unblock 2" to no avail.

I also ran both of the commands in comment 18. acpidump gave the feedback:

"Linux version not implemented yet Could not get ACPI tables, AE_SUPPORT"

The acpidump tool has problem in this version, I think the same with bnc#842447.
