A somewhat dirty* work around is

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /etc/rc.local
add the line you want executed between the comments and exit 0 - the exit 0 has to be the very last line

Code: Select all

    echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan
* dirty because rc.local is not "supposed to be used" in Ubuntu, but it works...

Don't forget to set rc.local to execute. I don't think Debian/Ubuntu/Mint sets the execute bit by default anymore.

sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local

Husse,

Thanks for correcting me. I was thinking they had discontinued that. :-)

Madwifi is not a default application in Mint
It is a network manager - one of many - and something to try out if the default does not work
