I also gave the ipw-driver a try and I discovered that the laptop doesn't turn on the radio transmitter by itself. Instead there is a button which, as expected, does not work under FreeBSD. I found the source code for a Linux kernel module which allows the user to control the RF module. I'll see where I can go from there... Phil.Received on Sun May 23 2004 - 02:30:35 UTC
