Hi,

I have an Acer Aspire 3023 which has a built in broadcom 802.11g wireless
card. The driver is installed by Vista during setup and shows correctly in
the device manager but I cannot activate the antenna.

There is a button on the front of the laptop which is used to switch on the
antenna but when I run the troubleshooter and it asks me to turn the antenna
on all I get is a beep when I press the antenna button.

I have tried the XP driver and its a no go, I have also tried to install
acer's launchmanager software which (on XP) enables the wireless at startup,
this also fails to run.

I went into the drivers settings to see if there was a "radio on/off"
setting but the options in the driver are pretty sparse with no settings
relating to the antenna.

I used a PCMCIA wireless card and this runs perfectly but I realy want to
use the built in card.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Chris
