[SOLVED] Re: compat-wireless iwl4965 on hp/compaq 2510p

[Bachman Kharazmi <bachman@tor.lindesign.se>]

Here's what I did:
(-Compiled my own 2.6.24-4 instead of using debian kernel.)
-Booted XPee and hoped that all the clicking enabled the WLAN device. It 
seem to be a software button, like a touch panel.
-Entered BIOS, disabled switching wlan button to hopefully keep the 
state constant(ON).

And finally I did configure my WEP, and requested IP and now I'm online ;)

thx guys! /Bachman
