Description ml 2005-11-22 17:58:10 UTC

Currently acerhk is provided as an ebuild. The drawback of this is that you     
have to recompile acerhk after every new kernel - which is quite annoying for     
guys often recompiling their kernel.     
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just copy the files from the acerhk source  
to /usr/src/linux/drivers/misc/acerhk and apply the patch from   
attachment.      
  
All module parameters can be handed over on the kernel command-line in the     
boot-loader or when loading the module. For switching on/off WLAN by 
proc-filesytem the init-script from the acerhk-ebuild can be used. 
 
Actual Results:  
WLAN on Acer Notebook working fine ;-)
