acerhk - saving the radio kill switch
Saturday, 23. December 2006, 00:10:12
On my laptop I use the Acer Hotkey driver for Linux to turn on/off the radio kill switch. I currently run acerhk-0.5.34, the latest public version. The page however seems to have been taken off the public web (anybody has any info?), so updates are not really to be expected. But…
…after kernel 2.6.19 removed the obsolete linux/config.h include, the module would not compile anymore. Many modules might run into this problem, and will need upgrading.
The old linux/config.h didn't have much necessary info anyway, so the simple patch to get this module back alive is to comment out the line
#include <linux/config.h>
in acerhk.c and just compile the module 
Works fine, and you have your radio kill switch button back.
Update:
The project seems to have changed location.
