Acer Acpi Kernel Module Not Working 2.6.24-12

[Rich]

With the latest hardy kernel the included kernel modules do not seem to be working with
my laptop(an Acer 5021 with broadcom 4318) I am using ndiswrapper in combination with
the windows driver.

Trying to manually activate the wireless with: echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/acer_acpi/wireless does
not seem to work(as it usually does) but lsmod does indicate that the module is loaded.

When the module is loaded the front led will be lit up flashing till it gets a network and
solid once locked this does not happen on the latest kernel and I cannot seem to
compile the acer acpi from source.

Hope this is useful.
