Sounds hillarious...would have never thought about that.
Thanks

If there arent other solutions, Im probably going with this advice.

 

There is this Broadcom BC4318KFBG Chip inside. I googled for its pinout, but it seems I failed... :S

I read about Pin 7 and 20 on various Toshiba models...as already mentioned, this is a HP Compaq NC6000 Laptop.

 

Ahhh okay, I just taped pin 13 (7th from the left) in combination with "WLAN Button Enabled" & "WLAN Button Disabled" in BIOS.

It does not work with either selection. There is no "Radio OFF" option in BIOS.

Also not a single HP Laptop is enlisted on that link you provided.
Maybe its this strange combination of hard/software button ?

Any other idea, any other PIN ? ,-)

 

Nothing is shown using "rfkill list", which should be normal, as there is nothing to show ?

 

Today I tried Knoppix 7.0.5 instead of 8.1...and the WLAN Card is now working out of the box. Without taping or other drivers.

Anyway, thank you for your support ! Much appreciated, I always learn new things here on mdl.
