    Hello,

    I am experiencing a very strange problem. I have installed a HDSPA 5530 card in my laptop and it works perfectly. As you know the laptop is designed so you control the BT, WWAN and Wi-Fi through one button. I have configured this button to control only the WWAN and BT, through the BIOS. I keep the WWAN and BT turned off and power them on only when I need them.

    But for some reason, sometimes when I power on the laptop from hibernated state, the BIOS is resting those settings and the button is set to manage ALL those 3 devices. I just cannot figure out why. I am using BIOS A8.

    Any suggestions.
