Hi Herton

Yes I will be able to test this by Sunday 20th November, if that is what you are meaning. Will that be ok?

Regards,
Graham.

Graham, hope you get well.

Unfortunately we have until tomorrow to verify this fix, it's the
deadline for verification (we have a schedule for the updates). Are you
able to test this until Sunday? Otherwise we may have to revert this for
Natty next week.

Title:
  Wireless not working on Lenovo3000-N200 with Ubuntu 11.04 upgrade

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “linux” source package in Natty:
  Fix Committed
Status in “linux” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: acer-wmi is lacking a required quirk for the Lenovo 3000 N200
  wlan rfkill. As a result, wireless is permanently blocked on this
  machine whenever acer-wmi is loaded.

  Fix: Add quirk to use the correct EC register for updating the wlan
  rfkill status.

  Testcase: Loading acer-wmi without the fix results in a permanent wlan
  soft block. With the fix the rfkill switch behaves as expected.
  Verified against natty on LP #857297.

  ---
  Wifi is not working after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04.

  The network manager on the task tray states that wireless is disabled
  by hardware switch. Wireless is enabled in the BIOS and the switch on
  the laptop is enabled.

  I tried the following commands suggested by Seth Forshee (sforshee)
  and wifi was activated, but when I rebooted wifi was not activated and
  the following commands did not work again.

  sudo modprobe -r acer_wmi
  rfkill unblock all

  The following command produces --> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
  sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

  The following command still shows --> Hard blocked: yes
  rfkill list

  Wireless works when I swap the Ubuntu HDD with a Windows HDD to test.
