I do not appear to be able to disable bt_coex_active.
F16 (64-bit) was installed on my Asus U56E laptop with the live CD, followed by a complete update. The 3.2.7-1 kernel was installed with the update. I have been unable to establish a wifi connection with either kernel and i have been trying to track down the problem for several days. I think i need to disable bluetooth but i don't appeare to be able to set bt_coex_active.
Am I doing anything wrong? Is modinfo fooling me? Can bt_coex_active be hardcoded such that setting the parameter is ignored?
