Interestign that Toshiba chose not to label them like the ThinkPads' are. well, I guessed right. When I inserted the card, the wires were two different lengths and I connected the longer white to the main and shorter black to the aux since those were the closer connections..... but after installing Intel's software package, I keep getting a package about turning on the Hardware Switch (Fn-F8, I Think) but the hotkey software doesn't seem to do anything, even after reinstalling it. Some notebooks have a physical switch for the WLAN. Look around the front lip of the machine for a slider (or perhaps around the back). I got fooled recently with an X60 (which does indeed have a hardware switch, and the Fn-F5 key sequence does nothing when this switch is turned off). Interesting exchange on one of the Linux pages on the net: http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/eng/qa/network/05764.htm Another post, but much more basic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/jive3/thread.jspa?threadID=15964 Try some of these other hits on the Toshiba Europe forum: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/jive3/search!execute.jspa?dateRange=last90days&objID=f30&q=hardware+switch&GO.x=0&GO.y=0&GO=GO Good luck, and let us know how you make out, Stan. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
