Please kindly help me to find out which register on your machine is mapping to wireless status, please reference to Carlos's acer_ec.pl tool: http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi/wiki/EmbeddedController Simple use: watch -n 1 perl acer_ec.pl regs Then press your wireless Fn key to monitor which register changed when you press Fn key: e.g. the register at row B0 and column 0A is register 0xBA (0x is used to indicate this is a hexadecimal number). There maybe have other EC register changing when you press key, please do a couple of times and make sure you find out the right one. If we are lucky, we can find out one EC register mapping to your wireless state.
