Check the BIOS. These laptops have Windows centric key codes to enable/disable different functions. You might have to either disable the key completely, or designate it to a service you won't need.
Thanks a lot andrew.
Can you describe me the process how to do it.
I guess that I need to recompile the kernel but how to do it?
Here is a good link. You can ignore the gentoo specific parts, but on the whole it is pretty simple. Just make sure to copy your current kernel config file from /boot to .config in the directory that you are building and alter the .config (using make menuconfig) to choose * instead of m for your network adapter.
I tried BIOS way but no success, and now I have problem with atheros drivers...
First problem was error during unpacking drivers - solved using gunzip and then tar xvf archive...
Second problem was missing autoconf.h when I try to make install
After that problem was CFLAGS... replace CFLAGS with EXTRA_CFLAGS...
I tried to solve last one with KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make install but some other errors occurs
So I wonder if I made mistake copying autoconf.h from kernel source location... or something else...
