I found that specifying the above option 'fixes' the driver but I also noticed that list of available access points shrinks to just one (the connected) point. Moreover there is a trouble in changing a access point, it just hangs. the button that toggles wireless does work, but doesn't blink. I then installed latest -git kernel (~ 2.6.26-rc4) and got this: * I still have to use disable_hw_scan=1 * Wireless led works thanks to acer-wmi * If I disable wireless with the button, I _can't_ re-enable it unless I reload the module. * List of access points doesn't shrink, and I can switch between those points. When I omit disable_hw_scan=1, I get errors about REPLY_SCAN_CMD I will send detailed debug info later. Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
