Bug Description
I'm having troubles turning off the wireless adapter.
I have a Thinkpad T42 with ipw2100 wifi.
Normally pressing Fn-F5 toggles wireless on/off, but it doesn't work.
Tried doing this in terminal.
~$ sudo /etc/acpi/
/etc/acpi/
0
Which is this line:
echo -n 2 > /sys/class/
Why is this not writeable, not even as root ?
This was never a problem until now.

I can confirm this behavior on a ipw3945 also. But it seems that it's more a sysfs problem of the driver rather then permissions...
