2014-10-11 17:44:37 John Scott description I have a Gateway NE56R and sometimes unusual things happen when closing the lid. It's likely that this also affects Acer Aspire notebooks because of the hardware similarities. Usually, closing the lid will cause the built-in wireless (a Broadcom BCM4313) to greatly slow down communication. Don't let the fact that the wireless is a BCM4313 fool you; there are many bugs and problems that have been reported with it, but this version of the kernel fixes my wireless problems, so don't focus on its history of incompatibility with Linux. Also, leaving the lid closed for a long period of time (two hours or so) while still using the computer (I use VGA external monitor) may cause all USB devices to stop functioning. Even more occasionally, replugging a single device may cause all other USB devices to work.
