Hello Karl,

If I follow this your not able to use the regular Linux software that you KNOW will work because it interfers with a kill setup? We decided that since Fedora 7 has a nice hibernate function it can't be used because no-one knows how to turn the computer back on?

looks like that you don't know what a kill switch related with a notebook
and WLAN is. It's a tiny button at the laptop you can press and it enables
or disables the WLAN chipset.
I have to admit it is new to me. My Sony doesn't seem to have a kill switch and I'm not sure what the WLAN chipset is.
 Unfortunately this feature is triggered by
software and the original bcm43xx-mac80211 isn't able to enable this switch
to turn on WLAN functionality. This only work via ndiswrapper. This also
should explain, why I've to use nice things from Livna.

I'm a user. I like VLC Media player from there and now I can watch DVD Movies on my computers.
I don't. In fact I am not sure WPA2/AES is the proper driver for your Hardware. How did you learn this? And what does modprobe call from the kernel? You seem to have it in a wrapper.

Ouch...WPA2/AES is no driver, it's a method (sloppy said). What do I have
in a wrapper?

You showed a call that looked like modprobe ndiswrapper or like that.
   Show me that that is right and then proceed.

What do you would like to see exactly?

I know your hardware and laptop. I didn't follow at all how you figured out which Linux kernel module to use with the hardware. If you can make that more clear it will help. Have you considered using NetworkManager? It seems to be quite good. If you can clear up the module question I want to put your setup in my paper on doing this.

   Well then your all set up. Just set up your password(s).

LOL - sorry. There is a difference between unencrypted WLAN and WPA2/AES -
it's not just setting up the password(s)...

   I don't understand this either it appears.

Karl

Greetings,
