    I've had this problem forever. I think since I got my SXPS 1645.

    But, whatever. After waking up from sleep, for whatever reason, my laptop "forgets" what the wireless switch is assigned to. I have it always set to just toggle BT (and I leave it off). However, after waking up, my WiFi is turned off because somehow the stupid switch is now set to WiFi+BT. I used to go restart and go back into the BIOS (yup, it even got changed there) and reset it. But, now I just hit Win+X and change it there.

    Anyone have this problem?

    Thanks,
