One of the minor issues I had since installing ubuntu on my eee pc was I couldn’t work out how to turn the wifi off. There’s a Fn+F2 key combo that works in xandros, but it didn’t work for me in ubuntu. I tried googling for the answer and got nowhere.

So, for google, to turn wifi off, I had to echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/wlan Turning it on is obviously echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/wlan

Another problem fixed (sort of), I wouldn’t mind fixing Fn+F2, but I’m happy enough with the echo for now.
