    What utility do I need to install in order to get the option of disabling/enabling wireless/bluetooth and to get the wireless function key to work. I'm using the Asus G1.

    Thanks.

    You have to instal the ASUS ATK0100 drivers for the function keys to work

    I'm having a problem. It disables bluetooth fine, but not wireless. I have the wireless drivers and the card works fine. It will only disable bluetooth though.

    Do you mean it'll only disable bluetooth when you hit the on/off button? When you bring up the console you have the 4 little balls... wifi on... bluetooth on.... both on... both off...... then whatever you do with the on/off button simply turns both or one on and off. If you look into that and it doesn't work, reinstall the wireless console. There is no reason for the wifi card to work fine in itself and not turn off unless the wireless console is screwing it up.

    If you are using Windows for wireless it will not work. You must use the Intel software for it to work.

    Yeah, very good point....... It'll be fine for the wireless, but then you don't have control of the bluetooth..... Intel's automatic setup is just as easy as windows now anyway.... so it's not as advanced (or at least it doesn't have to be) as earlier pro/set versions.

    Bummer, thats why. Oh well, I'll just manually disable it when I want. I don't like Intels utility.

    What I did is I installed Intel's utility, disabled it, and prevented it from starting up whenever I boot. It's never used, but it gave me function of the wireless button.

    So it still lets you use the default Windows zero config manager then? I might try that.

    Yup, I disabled Intel's control of my wireless connection and let Windows take care of it. The drivers of the Intel Proset utility allowed me to still have function of the button.
