Every time I log in I have to type "sudo rmmod acer_wmi" to get wifi to work. How do I get this to run on startup or permanantly delete acer_wmi.
Thx
Edit the blacklist:
sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
And add the faulty module there (at the end):
blacklist acer_wmi
reboot and voilà
You can blacklist that module. It is convenient to make a separate file. Run in terminal:
sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-acer-wmi.conf <<< "blacklist acer_wmi"
I realize I'm replying to this question rather late, but there's another method I've used when booting into liveUSBs. Since there is no easy way to edit their /etc/modprobe.d/
after creating the USB, add this snippet when you see the kernel selection screen add this by pressing [tab]
modprobe.blacklist=acer_wmi
Whether this gets carried over from the liveUSB to the distro once it's been installed can be hit or miss. If it doesn't, adding this parameter to /etc/default/grub
on the line containing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
Now every time you boot it'll be blacklisted!
I'm not always the best at explaining things like this so if you need clarification please let me know.
rfkill list all
? What is the trouble you are having specifically?
