On the following system: Linux 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 10:41:14 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux the Intel 5100 pci wireless adapter appears to be detected and a reasonable driver is indicated (iwlagn) but the radio does not appear to be on, at least the little antenna like LED is off. The radio switch is on and the Bluetooth LED is on. Has any one conquered this yet? -- Roger Wells, P.E.
