Toshiba 1415-S173 and Intel 2200GB Mini PCI Wireless

Hi, Everyone!

I've been using my Toshiba 1415-S173 with a 802.11b (Lucent Chipset)
Mini PCI card for the past year and a half. Worked great, and the
little on/off switch on the side worked perfectly for the wireless
(light came on, turned off).

I put put a Intel 2200GB Mini PCI to replace the old card and get
802.11g capability, and the card works perfectly. However, the on/off
switch on the Toshiba has no effect on the Mini PCI card.

I put the old Lucent (Orinoco) chipset Mini PCI back in and it works
fine with the switch.

Is there some way I could possibly get this switch working?

Thanks!

Was there a cable going to the original card? I am wondering how the switch
worked. The alternative to turning off the card is to disable the device.
That is what the rest of us have to do. :-)
