As I told you before... the ndiswrapper module works ok with my own Broadcom 94320 wireless card that comes with my hp zd7000 laptop... wep encryption without problem... but I have a little problem now... that is the antena button, if I push it to disable the antena with the ndiswrapper module loaded into the kernel my system freezes... (I didn't tried to connect trouth ssh to see if it was only the X's system that was freeze or the whole system). I can live without push that button... but I would like not to have a crash button on my keyboard ;). Thanks... David GP |

Hi, I have also a hp laptop with the same card, but mine is a ze4430us. I have a nice button that is under Windows XP able to switch off the wireless antenna, but with ndiswrapper nothing happens in my case. Even without the module loaded there is a signal from the antenna, and I can't switch it off. It is clearly not just a hotkey, cause nothing happens under xev when the button is pressed. It would be nice to be able to power off the card, but I have no clue where to start. What can I do to find out what is needed to make the button work? Cheers, Steven.

I know that the button doesn't annouce=20 anything under xev but when you push it it appears in dmesg...=20 atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0= ). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio= 0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known. the same happen with another two keys in my keyboard... special keys that i= n=20 windows open some crappy programs of hp (off course... you can change it), = i=20 think there is an application to manage that key events... hotkeys... in t= he=20 other hand, the sound up, mute and low buttons doesn't announce anything=20 thourght the dmesg... but they appear in xev... it seems that linux doesn't= =20 know what keycode asing to the wireless button so the kernel ignores it and= =20 xev doesn't get any kind of event. Going back to the wireless antena key (sorry about that three paragraphs, t= hey=20 were a bit out of topic here)... my key really works... if I do: modprobe -= r=20 ndiswrapper , push the key, and then I do: modprobe ndiswrapper and I tried= =20 to set up my wireless... I cann't connect to my router, because the antena = is=20 off, if I unload ndiswrapper again, push the button, and load ndiswrapper=20 again... I can connect to my router. The funny thing is that when Ioad the= =20 module, the blue ligh of the keyboard turns on, but my problem is that if I= =20 push that button with the module loaded by the kernel... the system=20 freezes... btw my kernel is 2.6.3.
