Re: Wireless Always On After Startup

The wireless card is: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN.

Within in xPUD, there is the gnome editor, so I guess I could try to run iwconfig or ifconfig to see if that turns on the card

Re: Wireless Always On After Startup

So I looked through the build file of xPUD, and they have included my wireless card in the firmware set as part of the system.
However, I think I still need to 'turn it on' directly after boot...BIOS setting change? Device Manager change?
Thanks for the help so far,

Re: Wireless Always On After Startup

Thanks for the reply.
I will look into the firmware needed for my wireless card...is 'Ndiswrapper' compatible with Vista?
In addition, the hardware switch is always on.

Thanks,

Wireless Always On After Startup

Hello all, I have recently downloaded xPUD (fast booting linux software) as an "instant-on" type dual boot set up. However, because it loads up just after the initial Lenovo welcome screen, it seems that my green wireless indicator has yet to light up (indicating my wireless card is working). Thus, ...

However, once its on, than its no problem, but when I turn on my computer initially, it normally takes a good 7-10 mins to be connected to both 'local and internet'. When I turn on my co...

Memory Problems

Hello all, So I installed a 2GB memory stick about a year ago, and within the past few months (after I installed SP1 for Vista 32) I was getting Blue screens that seemed related to memory problems. I never dealt with it, assuming it was a problem with SP1. So yesterday, I returned to a backup of pre...
