    I can hit the fn F2 shortcut and it claims wireless devices are all off, however in the Windows control panel/applet I can still view wireless networks and it occasionally tries to reconnect. This is something I would like to solve because sometimes you truly need to preserve battery life and disable wifi....

    Any ideas? I'm not really certain what to look at. The drivers seem in place.
