On the original distro pressing "Fn + F2" key combination toggles the wifi card from on to off.
Anyone know how to manage that on a generic, non eeePC tuned, distribution ? I'd be even happy to run a command (or script to turn it on) but do not want to leave it allways on from bios (to save pattery life when unused). |

Well it looks like that if one enables correctly the ASUS ACPI interface you can get control over the integrated devices trough /proc/acpi/asus/
Echoing 1 or 0 in the appropriate device interface wil turn on and off the devices. For example echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/wlan will turn on the wireless lan device |
