The following commit has been merged in the linux branch: commit b56ab33d68638e6aafdbfc694025e8354a628f49 Author: Darren Salt linux@youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk Date: Tue Oct 13 00:13:33 2009 +0200

eeepc-laptop: Prevent a panic when disabling RT2860 wireless when associated

This works around what I think is actually a bug in rt2860sta which is triggered when the hardware "disappears" from beneath the driver, i.e. when wireless is toggled off via ACPI. It does so by ensuring that the rfkill soft-block flag is set before the hardware is disabled.

I do not know whether this patch is required if rt2800pci is in use instead of rt2860sta; at the time of submission of this patch, I've not been able to test this.
