    Hello; I recently installed Vista 32-bit on my Z70va. The Intel 2915ABG wireless card is working normally, but my problem is that the button that controls whether wireless is on/off does not work. Additionally, the wireless LED doesn't turn on, even though the wireless card is working. Whenever I push the wireless button, I get an error about not being able to some files (which I'm sure are the Intel PROset). However, the PROset cannot be installed since Intel isn't releasing a PROset that supports Vista. All other buttons work under HControl. Is there anyway to get this one working, too?

    did you install the asus utilities that are included on the asus utilities/driver disk? All those laptop buttons have asus specific utility drivers that are needed to operate properly. Anyways thats the way it works for me on my z70va every time i reformat. Someone correct me if im wrong.
