A small addition.
Stragely, I can compile it on another stationary karmic PC, but not in this laptop. Both systems are fully updated with the latest packages.

Thank you moma.
But it doesn't work for me.
I am with a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro v3505, and have updated Karmic today,
with the latest packages.
I have downloaded your package acerhk-fixed and successfully run 'make' and
'make install'.
But I can't load the module manually. Acerhk module not found.
Also I have tried writing acerhk at the end of /etc/modules. but it doesn't
work.

Run the "make install" as
$ sudo make install.

The driver/module name is "acerhk.ko", and "sudo make install" will copy it from compilation directory to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/.
Check if you find it there.
$ ls -l /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/

You must also run
$ sudo depmod -a
afterwards.
----
BTW: It would great if the Ubuntu's "acerhk-source" compiled without errors so we could use it instead of various hacks. Notice that "acerhk-source" package puts the source into /usr/src/ directory.

Thanks moma

But I have no luck, and everything seems OK.

The module acerhk.ko is copied to the directory /lib/modules/2.6.31.4/extra/.
Verified.

And I have run "sudo depmod -a" . I don't know what it does, because this
makes no feedback in my terminal prompt.

But when I try to load the module with modprobe:
sudo /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install acerhk force_series=6805 autowlan=1
I get the message ""FATAL: Module acerhk not found"

I have Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Li 1718 and the options to acerhk should be
"force_series=6805 autowlan=1".

For Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A1650g, the option is:
"autowlan=1".

How about your Amilo?

Hi Moma.

I have resolved my problem.
I have notice that acerhk.ko was copied to /lib/modules/2.6.31.4/extra/
instead of /lib/modules/2.6.31.14-generic/extra/ where it should be.
I just copied it and all of your notes work well.
Thank you very much.

Re-hello,

Good observation.
I can see the same error here. It tries to install it to /lib/modules/2.6.31.4/extra/. The latest kernel number is 2.6.31.14, not 2.6.31.4.

The Makefile (in the source dir) is pretty simple. We can see that it sets the KERNELVERSION variable wrong because there is a "wrong" value in the "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic/include/linux/utsrelease.h" file. I do not know what the value 2.6.31.4 means?

Check the value:
$ cat /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic//include/linux/utsrelease.h
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.31.4"

I think Ubuntu's kernel people should know about this oddity.

More generally
$ cat /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/linux/utsrelease.h

Anyway, I modified the Makefile so it always compiles against the current kernel version. It simply sets
KERNELVERSION="`name -r`"

It should work right now.
Thanks.

A typo. I mean
KERNELVERSION="`uname -r`"

Re-installation of linux-headers-$(uname -r) package fixed the bad version number in the utsrelease.h file.

sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo rm -fr /usr/src/linux-headers*
sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

But the original problem remains.
"No rule to make target kernel/bounds.c."

Hello,

You don't need acerhk anymore - at least i do. Just invoke a console and type 'sudo modprobe acer-wmi'. Tataa :-)
Maybe you want to add that to /etc/modules..

Greetings!

The fixed version by moma also works under lucid, too, you just have to temporarily comment out one line in /usr/src/YOUR-KERNEL/Makefile

search for "pg" and comment out the line in which it is, then compile your kernel module and then reverse the change, install the module etc.

Is there some way this could be made available in lucid officially?

The fixed version by moma worked for my acer aspire 5610 with Mint 8 installed. It made made multimedia keys work! Instead of

$ sudo /sbin/modprobe acerhk force_series=6805 autowlan=1

you'll have to use

$ sudo /sbin/modprobe acerhk force_series=2020 poll=0

and enter this to the file instead:

$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/acerhk.conf

options acerhk force_series=2020 poll=0

No need to continue with step 6)...

Great work, thx a bunch moma!

At me, the Makefile is a link which refers to itself (Makefile -> ../linux-headers-2.6.32-16/Makefile)

O.k. found the failure, Synaptic told me linux-headers-2.6.32-16 would be installed but the respective folder wasn't there under /usr/src/ only the generic so I thought that linux-headers-* would be a "link" on the kernel which is on use (eg generic).

After I reinstalled linux-headers*-generic and linux-headers* and changed the line in linux-headers-2.6.32-16/Makefile (important not generic) I could compile and install the fixed acerhk.

Why does this have to be so hard. I finally found this post so that I could get the touchpad toggle to work in Lucid. It was actually quite annoying. I could not get moma's file to download "permission denied" but I did follow the last bit of post #18 from KojiroAK and I got it to compile.

It still did not load (module not found) so I insmodded it. I will see if it will load on a reboot, then if so, I will add it to /etc/modules.conf

I assume I will have to redo this every time I get a new kernel?

@Brian harkness

Under Hardy I didn't have to recompile it at every new Kernel, so probably under Lucid it's the same.

Fixed Acerhk, for Lucid (10.04) Edit (18.5 KiB, application/x-tar)

Hi. I thought, I'd upload a fixed binary that also works on Lucid, since the one on edbl.com doesn't seem to load anymore (the source is the obviously the same, of course). Hope, it works for you, too.

Thank you very much Aaron.
It has worked for me in a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro, following the notes
from Moma.
Many thanks to both.

I also try to do this on FS Amilo Pro v3505.
Everything to step #3 is OK. But after the test result is:

What you recommend?

Hello Aurélien,

Take a look at this document.
http://www.futuredesktop.com/linux/wireless_in_linux_with_acerhk_driver.txt

I used the "AcerhkGUI" in Ubuntu 10.04 (and Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li1718 laptop) and it installed the acerhk driver and all patches. The wireless works out-of-the box in Ubuntu 10.10. No tweaks required.
