Ubuntu 9.04 installed on my laptop
Just some notes in respect of installing Ubuntu 9.04 on the Laptop Fujitsu Amilo Pro. In particular getting the wireless card to work.
The problem is that the wireless button doesn’t do anything so whilst the hardware is detected it cannot be brought up.
The solution is in two parts.
1. Get the OS to load the fsam7400 driver and pass a parameter radio=1
sudo echo fsam7400 >> /etc/modules sudo echo options fsam7400 radio=1 >> /etc/modprobe.d/options
2. To survive hibernate/resume
modprobe -r ipw2200 modprobe -r fsam7400
to /etc/acpi/sleep.sh and /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh and
modprobe fsam7400 radio=1 modprobe ipw2200 led=1
to /etc/acpi/resume.sh
