Subject: [ath9k-devel] AR9285 boot activation
Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2013 01:15:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130531231553.GA3059@GlowArch> (raw)

Hello

I'm currently trying to find a way to activate an Hard Blocked AR2985 using driver capabilities.
i'll explain myself.

This a netbook where you have to press fn+f2 to actually unblock (hard) the wifi card.
Using the keys it's works well, and some might say there is no other way to activate/deactivate it.

With any linux i tried, the wifi is not activated at boot time, so you actually have to be physically present to activate the wifi, 
wich can be a problem in remote situation

However with windows ( seven utltimate 32bit) the wifi activate at the very beginning of windows boot.
So there MUST be a way to activate it without pressing these keys.

Is this capabbility is or will be included in ath9k ? have anyone discussed about it here.
If anyone has any lead about this problem, i would be happy to contribute in ath9k.

Thanks

Mathieu
