Dennis:
I have a Gateway 7510GZ laptop that I am trying to get the Broadcom
wireless card to work on. I think the problem is the radio on the
wireless card is not coming on and staying on. The key combination to
turn it on under MS Windows is Fn-F2.
These keys under Ubuntu do not seem to do anything. When I issue the
command modprobe ndiswrapper, the wireless light comes on briefly but
then goes back out again.
The same thing happens if I scan for local access points. I tried your
directions above hoping it miht work but still did not see anything.
How do I find out what value o use above when hitting the Fb-F2 key
sequence.
Thanks.
