Hello.
I just have a quick question:
Has anybody been able to get the wifi and bluetooth buttons working using the following method with a modified HControl AND get the bluetooth and wifi status lights to work?
Thanks,
Andrew

| 1) get the modified hcontrol.exe and figure out how it works. search the forum to find this. 2) download devcon.exe from http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q311272. extract the file and move the executable to windows\system32\ 3) go to device manager. look at properties for your wifi card. go to details and write down the device instance id. 4) this part is a little goofy. open command window (start>run>cmd). type "devcon find *XXXXX" where XXXXX is a part of the device instance id that you think might be unique. press enter. if only one device is returned, the XXXXX you picked is a good one. otherwise, try again. whatever it is, make sure that the command returns only your wifi card. 5) create a new text file. type in the following four lines: @echo off devcon status *XXXXX | find "disabled" > nul if not errorlevel 1 devcon enable *XXXXX if errorlevel 1 devcon disable *XXXXX again, XXXXX is what you figured out in the previous step. save this file as a batch file (i.e. it needs to have the .bat extension). you can save it to c:\ 6) test it out. go to c:\ and double click the file you just saved. you should see a command window come up briefly. your wireless device is now disabled! double click it again... enabled! ok, that's sweet. 7) configure the modded hcontrol to point the wireless button at this .bat file. |

. I imagine you should just use the whole device ID number. This wasn't my post originally. here's the original thread:
