This bug is really starting to annoy me know. I am not a software developer, I am an Ubuntu user. Every time there is a kernel update to my system I have to rebuild the acerhk driver to get my laptop wifi to work. And every time I have to rebuild the driver something else trips me up anout how to do it. I have to search the net and read yet more posts on this and then learn another option to make. ( I AM NOT A DEVELOPER, I AM A USER) I should not need to build a driver for a laptop that is 5 years old, it should now work and this bug should be closed.

My laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V3505 and I have been using it with Ubuntu for about 5 years now. I think every time I install or update Ubuntu, I have to mess with the scerhk driver to sort out my laptop so that I can switch the Wifi on and off.
