    Since I've installed Intel Pro Wireless new drivers, the wireless hotkey is not working any more. When I press Fn+F2 I can see the popup window as usual, and also in the system tray Wireless Console turns off, but Intel Proset/wireless doen't turn on or off.

    I attach a picture to show it

    The new drivers might not be compatible with H-Control. Personally, if there is nothing wrong with the wireless card, then I'd stick with the default drivers, which do work with HControl.

    It's not "might". They *aren't*.

    You have to use ASUS' drivers for the wireless switch to work. Each OEM company makes their wireless switch differently, so you have to use their software to control it. There is some sort of interface module which they have to maintain to get it to work with the Intel drivers.
