By the way: the Dell Inspiron 1545 has a button with a picture of a wireless antenna tower on it. I assume that works in the Windows environment to turn wireless connectivity on and off. Does it work at all in the Linux environment? Or may I safely ignore it? (It also functions as "F2" if I strike the blue "Fn" key first.)

The explanation could be found in the user manual, right? With a little salt and pepper. :)
On my Inspiron N7110, that key does work under F20/XFCE. It functions as the "F2" key if pressed alone.
To toggle the wireless, you have to hold down the "Fn" key and press F2. The same holds with the other F keys (they're function keys alone, to use the alternate functions you have to hold down "Fn" while pressing them). At least the screen switch, volume controls and keypad on/off seems to work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
