Anyway, with all that crap unloaded, and ndiswrapper loaded, the radio led
comes on and stays on, till an ifup wlan0 is done. When that is done, the
led under the screen hinge goes off instantly, and of course with the
transmitter off, its not going to connect.
Ummmm. That's the how the radio light always behaves for me (HP
Pavilion zv6016us, Broadcom 4306 wireless NIC) with ndiswrapper. It's a
feature. The light lights up to indicate traffic. It's dark
otherwise. Under Windoze, it's on when the radio is enabled and off
otherwise. Not as useful.
I got bcm43xx sort of working when FC6 was first released. I don't
remember what the radio light behavior was with it. At the time, the
only way I could get it to work was by running my AP wide open which
wasn't acceptable. FC^h7 will probably be an opportunity to see if it
works any better now.
Cheers,
Dave
