Joey fixed a few rfkill issues in acer-wmi in the upstream.
Joey, could you backport them to 12.1 kernel, too?
Yes! thanks for your remind! I will backport Ike's patch to 12.1! -- 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.

Hi Joey, given that this module is installed, I can easily get rid of the blacklisting of acer-wmi. So, from my standpoint you fixed the bug - thank you for your efforts!
Good! that means your issue also fixed on v3.4-rc1. :-)
By the way, what is the "hotkey"? Are you talking about "FN"?
Yes, hotkey is function key. e.g. Fn+F3
Please let me know, then I can supply the /var/log/messages file ...
Take care

Hi Joey, please find attached the remainder of /var/log/messages (i.e. everything that was added to this file after entering shutdown -r now)
By the way, is there a chance to see this fix for 12.1, too?
Take care
Dieter
