Now wireless does’nt seem to work out of the box so you need to:
Make sure that non-free and contrib are selected in the package list.
Open a terminal and type the following:
#su
#(Your root password)
# apt-get update
# apt-get install build-essential module-assistant madwifi-source
# m-a prepare
# m-a auto-install madwifi
WIRELESS LED:
To get your awesome wireless led to blink for you based on traffic, put
these lines in /etc/rc.local, just above the string exit 0 (below
doesn’t work).
#su
#(your root password)
now choose your editor of choice, i prefer gedit so I type the following
#gedit /etc/rc.local
Now add the following two lines above (exit 0)
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledpin=3 (For it to be a constant light change
it to “-3")
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.softled=1
Now for the wifi kill switch uses these keycodes (also to use in rc.local):
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e055 159
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e056 158
