This has been asked before but i'dd like to go into detail and explore another solution on the problem
i have: acer aspire series 5020 (5024WLMi) with broadcom wireless adaptor 802.11g (BCM94318MPG)

drivers are correct and i even updated bios today

The wireless switch is broken so i was wondering is this a hardware button (like realy HARD on the motherboard) or is this just a button that has a function.

i alreay checked the device but everything seems to be active windows keeps asking to turn on the wireless button(switch) but it seems to be broke.

I'dd like to get the wireless card working with software.
I think this should be possible because i think the button used to have a different function. (can someone tell me if i'm wrong or right on this?)
