Wireless switch stopped working in Linux.
This is a new problem. Wireless worked fine in Linux until two days ago. Now pressing button wont turn it on. Trying with a live disc also doesn't help so I know its not the software. In Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, it is acting up as well but still works. In Windows, I have to press the button twice to turn on the wireless card after it boots up and then the switch turns off if the computer is idle for a few minutes. "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power" is unchecked. Why is it doing this and how to fix?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

As you are describing the problem it is not operating system related. I would look in your BIOS for any related setting for the WIFI/Network also for power management. If there is control for power management in the BIOS those settings could cause this.

I haven't changed any settings for a long time now but i will check it out. I have checked all the driver settings that I can think of in Windows and that hasn't fixed it. I also replaced the wireless card itself (not the switch) because I have a parts machine so it was free and easy. That didn't help either so I believe it is a hardware or BIOS issue as you say. I also like that saying "the answer doesn't matter if you're asking the wrong questions." How true!
