    I've got a somehow strange problem with my v6j:

    Wireless LAN only works when Bluetooth is turned on too :confused:

    Has anyone experienced the same, or a solution for this?

    Hmmmm....thats not right.

    Have you tried using the hotkeys to see if you can turn one on, while the other is off?

    Also, I think there are 2 wireless utilities, one a Toshiba BlueTooth, another, the ASUS wireless panel, are those 2 also installed?

    the hotkeys and the leds work perfectly.

    also i do have intel wireless console installed.

    without the post from someone with the same problem in a german forum i would have thought that my wlan adapter is defected...

    Ok, so:
    BT button pressed, WiFi button pressed = BT/WiFi on
    BT button not pressed, WiFi button pressed = BT off, WiFi off

    Is that correct?

    Have you tried turning the WLan adapter on manually, via Windows's WiFi utility?

    I'm assuming that the WLan's drivers are fully updated, as is Intel's PROSet ultility?
