toggle wifi with fn-f2 breaks the wifi conection

[leon23]

when toggle the wifi with the fn-f2 key, the led don't turn off, i've to press 2 times to get the led off a the wifi off, but when a turn back on the network applet says " device is not ready" and have no list of wifi spots. when toggle with the eee-control applet works fine, other thing is that some times appears a message "eee-control-daemon is now conected", after this the wifi toggle with fn key work again. i have to reboot the system to get the wifi works again. sorry for the english. thks.

Hi,

I will not update eee-control anymore. Eee-control's source is at the moment such a mess because of the many hacks from different people that I would not be able to fix all its problems, especially because of my little time.

For Maverick I suggest to switch to Jupiter (jupiter.sourceforge.net) which has next to the .deb for the Jupiter program itself also has an additional .deb just for extra eeepc support. Jupiter is much more neat and reliable at the moment and provides the same featureset.

If somebody wants to take over the maintenance of eee-control, please send me a message.
