If either the > bluetooth or wireless is enabled, the LED will be one. Thank you for the information, I did not think about it (which is present in the user manual as well, my fault). IMHO the choice of this symbol is a bit unfortunate, because it is the common WiFi and not a more general one, e.g. like the one used on my ThinkPad X60 (a laptop with some waves at both sides). > As I dont use bluetooth at the moment, I have it disabled in bios, and > the LED works as on earlier models. And again you were right: if bluetooth is disabled in the BIOS, switching off wireless causes the LED to be switched off as well. I guess that we need to wait for 2.6.27 and rfkill support to have Fn+F2 disabling bluetooth as well, right? AFAIK there is no other way to disable bluetooth from userspace. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
