Description:

The wireless on my Asus eee 901 works. Using FN-F2 to disable the wlan works. However, after using FN-F2 to enable the wlan fails. Wlan works again after reboot.

This problem did not occur with kernel26 2.6.30.6-1 (downgrading fixes the issue).

Additional info:
kernel26 2.6.31.3-1
acpi-eeepc-generic 0.9.2-1
networkmanager 0.7.1-1

lspci | grep -i wireless
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
