I know on some Laptops, there's a specific button / keypress combo that will turn it on.. On My dell it's FN+F2.. It'll just shut-off.. YOu know it cause if you ping, and you turn it off, it'll just become unrerachable |

Just a small update, by the wisdom of Pontus, I found that I was indeed using the wrong drivers for my card (although the manufacturer of the laptop listed them as the correct ones..) Anyway, after installing the correct drivers, dmesg now shows this as the error ndiswrapper version 0.5+CVS loaded Unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:_vsnprintf Unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:_snprintf Unable to prepare driver Anyone have any thoughts?

I did make clean, checked to make sure the object files were gone, deleted the .ko module in the correct kernel module directory, did a 'make install' and still the same. I also doubled checked the sources to make sure the patches applied and they did. So I'm stumped again... Regards, Scott |
