Nit picky stuf

[Douglas Phillipson <douglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a HP Pavilion DV4000 Laptop running FC4.  It works wonderfully 
well.  That stated, there are a few little nit picky things that bug me. 
 Some of the buttons on it don't work the way they do with that "other" 
OS.  There is a "Wireless" button that disables the wireless function 
that I would like to work.  I am an astronomer and when I'm out in the 
field I would like to disable wireless to save the battery.  I'm not 
sure if "ifconfig eth1 down" actually turns off the wireless 
transmitter.  I know that pushing this button under the "other" OS does 
turn it off.  Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.  Is 
there a way to link a command to this button?

Thanks
