Thread: Wireless Indicator

-

i have dell inspiron 1545 , model has no lights or sort of indicator on outside/hardware tell me if wireless on or not. blindly press wireless shortcut key on keyboard, left click on network manager , wait minutes see if see wlans validate wireless turn on or not. worst when in region has no wlan ssid broadcast.

checkbox "enable wireless" in right click menu of network manager stays checked irrespective of wireless being on or not. same goes ifconfig or iwconfig.

looking way can distinguish , between wireless on/off states.

it depends suppose on how hardware handles turning off wireless. on lappy there physical switch (i think) cuts power wireless card, , hardware disappears hardware detection methods (lshw, iwconfig, lspci, etc).

first off sure button anything? if connected wifi network, , hit button, connectivity go away? imagine situation there windows program dell might install (which of course doesn't exist in linux) listens button , disables wifi in software sort of way (i.e. nothing happens when push button in linux).

other that, if there's no light or , hardware still shows up, maybe run scan wifi give instant results whether or not networks detected. i'm not sure how handles hidden networks, can give try, it's quicker waiting see if network manager finds anything.
try command 'iwlist wlan0 scan' (assuming wifi card wlan0)

if button doesn't work, i'd use network manager enable , disable wireless.

Indesign and MathType fonts

i having trouble getting indesign recognize mathtype fonts.  have been told move mathtype fonts on 2 indesign font folder.  copied mt-extra font file mathtype folder , pasted indesign font folder.  nothing changed.  indesign still gives me blank box after copy mt-extra font mathtype -->illustrator-->indesign.   guess need instructions on how transfer of fonts done correctly.  i'v looked @ install fonts manual indesign, not clear me on how it.  need utility fontexplorer this, or there other way.  what's weird working fine until had reinstall osx , reinstall cs3, font trouble started.  need toggle "activate-reactivate' adobe cs3 , don't know how close 20 max on this, worried that.  (i suspect because of note on forum might necessary).  thoughts appreciated. i'm using windows, advice may worth nothing...   1) shouldn't have deactivate id recognize fonts. 2) design science gives fonts away in type 1 , truetype flavors....
