There are no indicator lights on the machine, so it's pretty much trial-and-error on those keypresses. Thanks to Tom, though, I've been able to see a message at one of the consoles that at first says "unrecognized keypress" but soon thereafter says something like "wlan switched off" (per NetworkManager). No joy yet, though -- problem seems to be something else; see next reply for more details on that. -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's nothing left in the world to prove.
