Enabling/disabling your wireless adapter in the registry won't

have any effect until your reboot the machine. Is this what

you want?

Yes (I think). I can not turn the card on. There is no option in the biois,

no 'F' keys and the switch is on. However, i keep getting told to turn the

hardware switch on. All drivers are up to date. I'm thinking turn it on in

the registry to solve the problem.

I think the OP wants the "Enable/Disable" option of a LAC/WAC and

not the enable/disable of the specific Network adapter itself. If the PC is

a notebook most all of them come with a Wireless disable button/switch

which is way more convenient than a registry change.

Re: Turning devices on from the Registry

 

I down graded the laptop from vista to xp. The switch is in the 'on'

position but will not work. HP will not suport XP so i don't have the

software to activate the device. I thought altering the registry was a way

to enable the switch. If you know of any software i could use that would be

great. The Intel WAN management software also wants me to switch the device

on which is why i'm thinking registry.

Re: Turning devices on from the Registry

 

Been there, done that - The key to getting XP to work on recent HP

and Compaq notebooks is the right drivers. You'll find that a direct

match is hard to come by. I've had to setup XP on at least 8 of these

PCs that ship with Vista and it's never easy. Unfortunately a Registry

change isn't going to get Wireless up and running especially if the PC

has an Atheros Wireless chip.

 

You'll find numerous posts on HP's support site that deal specifically

with removing Vista and installing XP. - Good Luck with it.

Re: Turning devices on from the Registry

 

Yeah that is what i have done, It's the wireless that i just need to

connect. My HP is a DV2750ea. You didn't happen by chance to downgrade this

model did you so you could tell me the driver you used?

Re: Turning devices on from the Registry

 

The specifications for that model indicate an Intel Pro Wireless

with a 4965AGN chipset. Of course there are sub-models in

most product lines so your machine may have a different setup.

For Windows XP, this driver may be the closest match:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&Inst=Yes&ProductID=2753&DwnldID=16617&strOSs=44&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Professional&lang=eng

*Use this at your own risk.
