eeepc 1000. 9.04 NBR.

after install, Fn+F2 does nothing.

I will not even try the rmmod now because I do not have another machine to check if radio is still up, so now way to confirm it it works or simply makes the kernel not see a hardware that is still on wasting battery.

I googled and found an acpi package specific to eeepc, but:
[code]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  eeepc-acpi-scripts: Depends: acpi-support-base but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
[/code]

Workaround:
when you are going to power up the laptop, enter bios with F2, disable wifi. No workaround to turn on again without another reboot.
