Correct, my laptop with an integrated BCM43xx chip works this was as well. I can use the button to enable and disable the device (led is switching on = and off) without a bcm43xx driver installed. Hardware detection just picks it up when I enable the device with the button as new device. So the hardware button w= orks directly with the hardware. --nextPart5631995.qWiWy0ALGg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEaPW8aqndE37Em0gRArstAKCnDJrnL8uG+uK5bliow6Izzpc76gCfZAQP ledaZ71puc1dIjLF4BOzU4c= =Cvj8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart5631995.qWiWy0ALGg--
