Re: Need Linux driver (preferably 64 bit) for "Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 (rev 34)" WiFI & Bluetooth card ...

One more time... hopefully this one doesn't wrap around
on anyone on this list (apologies for the repeat send).

Hello Ozan:

You know that's actually a great point. You just reminded
me of something! I have noticed that, while the laptop
Bluetooth indicator light does toggle On-and-Off each
time I press Fn-12; the WiFi laptop indicator light does
*not*. It has never turned on (*ever*), no matter how many
times I press Fn-11 (the key combination to toggle WiFi
On-and-Off). I just assumed it was the driver issue I
was having (and it may still be).

Here are your rfkill outputs...

Executed when Bluetooth light was on - RX/TX enabled; WiFi light is off.)
root@p170hm# rfkill list

   0: hci0: Bluetooth
      Soft blocked: no
      Hard blocked: no

        Note: Don't let the above 2nd bluetooth interface
        beguile you. This is a tiny bluetooth dongle I
        temporarily attached to a USB port because this
        same N-6320 card also provides the laptop's bluetooth
        capability. But being connected to a USB port, Fn-12
        will not affect it showing up in the output of rfkill
        (see later below - it will remain in the output).

   1: hci1: Bluetooth    
      Soft blocked: no              
      Hard blocked: no              

(Executed when Bluetooth light was off -- RX/TX disabled; WiFi light is off)
root@# rfkill list

   0: hci0: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no

In either case, I see no reference to a WiFi device.

Hope that helps some more.
Regards & Thanks,
Noel
