After bcm43xx was split into b43 and b43legacy, both were upgraded to take account of the computers "radio kill switch". Changes in the hardware switch input are causing the "Radio hardware ENABLED/DISABLED" messages. How does the ASUS implement that switch? Some laptops have a slide switch with an on/off position, while others have a push button with software keeping track of the state. Larry PS: Your address bcm43xx-...@berios.de is wrong. You should use just bcm43xx-...@lists.berlios.de. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
