Andrei, On Windows XP (as delivered), hitting Fn-F5 brings up a menu that has a pushbutton to turn off the wireless radio (if on) or to turn it on (if off). The indicator light goes off when you push the off button. The same menu allows one to select various wireless profiles via the so-called "Access Connections" program. So it seems like the radio control should be able to work via software control in Solaris and might be included in an enhancement to inetmenu. Thanks for the nice work on making Solaris x86 more useful. Stuart
