Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 Wifi Problem "Linux"
« on: August 22, 2009, 09:48:13 AM »
Do you have a Fujitsu Siemens Computer,

If so, Are you thinking of using some thing other then Windows,
As some of you know, there are problem's with this computer with other operating system's on it,
I can fix one of the problem's on the computer with a Linux type operating system named "Ubuntu"
Just download the OS from "http://www.ubuntu.com" it has all the drive's, other then Wifi

"Ubuntu 9.10"
After Install Ubuntu, Open up Terminal, you can find Terminal in Accessories,
then type : "sudo modprobe acer-wmi" with out the ""

Now that was Easy, your LED needs to be ON for this to work,
If you see no network's or your LED is not on, then this has not worded for you "I know, I'm sorry"

If this did work for you, try reading up on this for more info,

"Ubuntu 9.04"
 
After Install Ubuntu, Open up Terminal, you can find Terminal in Accessories,
type in : "sudo modprobe acerhk" with out the ""
Then enter your password, you was ask for your password at install,
then type : "echo on > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled" with out the ""
For Wifi ON
or type : "echo off > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled" with out the ""
For Wifi OFF,

Now that was Easy, your LED needs to be ON for this to work,
If you see no network's or your LED is not on, then this has not worded for you "I know, I'm sorry"

If this did work for you, then you can get a app, that lets you use the button's at the top of your laptop,
from "http://www.amilo-forum.com/post,8610.html#p8610" it's easy to use,
