I still haven't found any HP docs that explain _exactly_ what function(s) the external wireless button serves. The User Guide only says that it 'activates' the wireless functionality, both wlan and bluetooth. I don't know enough about engineering to know if the button could disable wireless completely during boot. I only know that lspci can see the device whether the button is pushed or not. > If your WLAN button really can hide the whole PCI device, you have to > press it during the BIOS phase before booting. > Do you have a light indicator for "WLAN off/on"? Yes. But it does _not_ work when using Linux, both 9.3 and 10.0. It only works with Windows. -- Christopher Shanahan
