The Knights of Camelot

Well after days struggling to get the wlan atheros antenna switched on in linux
i stumbled across the softhook drivers for the acer model laptops.

It turns out that this module is able to “at least for now” control the radio antenna.
ia.: switching it on/off
Hell it even enables the nifty little LED again , indicating wlan is turned on

First download the acerhk drivers HERE

tar -xzvf acerhk-current.tgz * where current is version
cd acerhk-0.5.35
make && make install

modprobe acerhk force_series=6805 autowlan=1

This will load the module and force it to the model above and force wlan switch.
At this time only the wlan button seems to be functioning, but that was my main goal when i started this quest.
