Comment 98 for bug 232170

Chuck: possibly although the wifi patch changes the nature of how things worked a bit so that my be an unwanted surprise (it is no longer possible to disable wifi before shutdown and expect it to be off when you next boot the machine as it will be toggled back on during boot).

On a related note, if you do decide to use this patch make sure you boot the kernel with the pciehp.pciehp_force=1 kernel parameter (at least on an Eee 900). Failure to do so will result in the inability to start the wifi after it has been stopped once (e.g. by hitting the wifi toggle hotkey while the wifi is on).
