Hm. Seems I have to wait until the next kernel is released :frowning: .
With the old kernel on ubuntu there was a issue too, but there was a workaround. I hoped in opensuse I could get the help too.
Anyway …
Thanks for your feedback.
Best regards Carlos

Hi, I am solwing this on my laptop Acer Aspire 5024WLMi. You should load kernel module acer-wmi or acerhk or acer_acpi. The best should be acer-wmi module. You need to load this module by modprobe and than to activate it. Use google to download the documentation for acer-wmi.

modprobe acer-wmi wireless=1
