Hi Joey, it seems that the patch worked - I run the patch, (checked acer wmi - was not blacklisted anymore) and rebooted - wireless works fine now
Thanks for your testing, I will send patch to kernel upstream and add cc to you. And, Will send patch to openSUSE-kernel, after the patch go to openSUSE 12.1 kernel, then you can remove the testing kmp. -- 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.
