Yes, I think that's been the major issue with me. In looking further I see that there's a blue "Fn" key, and that there's a blue wireless icon on the F2 key. So, I think that by pressing these two keys, I can activate or deactivate the wireless (which commonly could take place given the common Alt-F2 combination to run applications). Mind you, I was in a pub last night using their wifi and when I switched tables to be near an outlet (the battery was low) I was disconnected, and no matter what I did with the Fn key, I still could not reconnect. So, I think gremlins cannot be wholly discounted. > IMHO it would be a good idea if software showed the status of this > button. Agreed.
