Sorry, I never did. Strangely enough, I don’t think it’s possible, at least without some kind of hardware hacking. I’ve gotten used to swapping the keys mentally, though.

Did you ever find out how to remap Fn and Ctrl keys? It would be great to do this since I keep hitting Fn.

Thanks.

david, I fixed it by rebooting the router (power cycled).

Now I’m using an AirLink101 router, and things are working fine so far.

How did you fix the problem with your netgear box ? I am having a similar problem with the Z61t…

Thanks for the comment, california. One interesting thing to note is that laptop keyboards are particularly inconsistent in this regard. I was in my university bookstore today, and tried out a Sony laptop. It has the keys reversed: Ctrl at the corner and Fn to its right. Imagine trying to switch back and forth!

I encounted the Fn-Ctrl issue as you, hope you can get used to it. Good Luck!

Neither of these are possible as far as I know (and I’m pretty sure). The Fn key is special - I believe it has physical mappings to the combination keys for use outside of the OS environment (returning from Sleep, for example). And on the middle button I’m sure that is possible to code it that way in principle, but without a pre-built setting for it you’re out of luck. If you’re not a touchpad user, you might consider using the scrolling function of the touchpad? You’ve probably already considered that though.

Do you have a policy of not using AIM during break?
