    I would love to be able to set my laptop to turn bluetooth off when it is unplugged and turn it back on when it is plugged it. But... This option isn't there. :eek:

    You can use Fn+F5 to quickly disable/enable individual wireless radios (WLAN, Bluetooth, WWAN), but I agree it would be nice if power manager supported this (I think Battery stretch can turn off all radios, but it doesn't discriminate).

    That would be nice but I don't find myself using bluetooth enough to make that really an issue. I just turn it on when I need to sync my phone or share its internet connection.
