Heck, Sidux is a liveCD so I could just run that and see what I get.

I thought it was just the wifi. But it is enabled as I'm using the onboard wireless. I saw a few postings mention fn+F5 to toggle the Infrared. However, when I use that key combo the wireless LED goes out. And the graphic on the F5 button seems to match the graphic on the wireless switch. Which is different than the graphic on the infrared port, which made think the switch was only for the wifi device. > And as long as I'm insulting you with suggestions that I'm sure you've > already tried, there is the BIOS. Actually when I checked the BIOS there was 2 settings for Infrared. One was for the physical port which had IRQ, and Memory settings. And the 2nd one was for something that I can't recall now but was disabled. Don't ever worry about insulting me with asking dumb / obvious questions. Often times in troubleshooting these are the ones people are afraid to ask or make assumptions about and then small easy problems become big difficult ones... _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
