Hello everyone. Sorry for the very late response, but it's worth writing anyway because if someone else is in need, they can refer to it.
So, I also have a Presario R3000 whose Wi-Fi button no longer works. I could have indeed used the warranty as someone suggested before me, but otherwise, I propose:
1) Right-click on the "My Computer" icon
2) Click on Manage.
3) Then go to the "Services and Applications" menu.
4) Next, go to the services submenu in the right panel.
5) Look for "Wireless Auto Configuration" in the list and double-click on it.
6) Finally, click on Start.

And there you go, you will see your Wi-Fi indicator light up.
I hope this can help someone one day.
I'm currently struggling a bit because I've switched to Ubuntu and now I don't know how to activate my Wi-Fi.

If a button on your computer is not working anymore, the only thing to do is to bring it back and claim the warranty. --   It's when you're up against the wall that you see the wall best!

Hello, maybe the fact that you haven't installed the drivers yet has something to do with it...

Hello, yeah I think that's it, I'm looking for the driver for my wifi but I can't find it, Broadcom BCM 4301 802.11b wireless LAN chipset.

Don't you have the original CD for your PC? Normally, the drivers are found on it. Otherwise, a visit to the Compaq website will surely provide the answer.

It's good, it works. Thank you very much.

Actually, I found the workaround, I downloaded and installed an update for the Atheros drivers. I still find it strange that no networks appeared, but that's how it is.
Thanks anyway to those of you reading this message, because this site is really handy when we have little computer issues... and it's us who make it strong.

Hello everyone. So for Paul, I found out how to activate the wifi button on your Presario R3000 on Ubuntu:

1) Application -> Accessories -> Terminal
2) In the terminal, write this: sudo modprobe acer-wmi
3) And that's it. It worked for me. I can't tell you the happiness I felt when I saw my little blue light come on.

I hope it works for you.

As for Strex, I’m glad you found a "workaround" because to be honest, I don't think I would have been much help. I don't know Vista at all.

See you.
