    I've searched all the downloads on toshiba's site and can't find a driver that will let me turn on the wireless minipci card. I put in an intel pro/wireless 2100 3b card and attached it to the antennae, but in ConfigFree, it says that the radio is turned off. I can flip the switch on the side of the machine on an off, but it won't turn on the led and it won't make any diff in turning the radio on as far as configfree goes.

    Help! :confused:

    Is there a Fn + one of the F1-12 that turns the radio on or off on the keyboard? That is probably the cause of the problem.

    Tried that. Fn + f8 has a wifi symbol on it, but it doesn't do anything. The other Fn options seem to work, though.
