If it works on Windows, keep the radio on, then reboot to Solaris, you may see the radio is still on. Someone solved this using such.
Also, if it doesn't work, for laptop "FujitsuSiemens Amilo M 7400", people found BIOS update needed. If it's your laptop, you can find the BIOS update from Fujitsu-Siemens website. I don't know the URL. Hope it helps. -Cc Rupam Choudhury wrote: > Tony > I did that still doesn't work. It works fine with windows.
