How come? Read on. 1) As jaunty was just released I planned to do a clean installation instead of an upgrade of the multiple-times-updated intrepid on that box (which did not even show the card in dmesg). 2) Thus I did an interim Vista-Installation in order to activate the card. 3) As that was more complicated than expected, I found out, that - in order to work (or even show up) - it is necessary, that the sim-card is inserted _and_ that the accu is inserted. If that is the case, the card is detected, the drivers are configured and it can be activated with the "hp wireless assistant". 4) If you leave it activated, it es detected under Linux, as well. 5) I don't know - whether the Vista-workaround would have been necessary if I had known, that the accu has to be inserted, in the first place. I always extract it, when I use the juice from the plug ... Thx anyway :-) JFTR: The mini-pci card works now. How come? Read on.

The one that belongs to your card (check the "name" attribute) has a "state" attribute. Echo "1" into that sysfs file and the device should appear. At least that's how I remember it ;) Well, you load the module hp-wmi, then you get rfkill devices in /sys/class/rfkill.

As I'm using Ubuntu (2.6.27 - intrepid) what did you do to enable the card? Did you pass any options to the various modules? Thx. Could you elaborate a little on that?

However, on the replacement machine I got, I was able to enable it without Windows, by using the hp-wmi driver module and the rfkill sysfs entries.
