    I just received a T61p. The wireless switch on the front controls both wifi and bluetooth. Does anyone know of a way to turn off the bluetooth radio but leave wifi on?

    I used to have a Dell D830 and I could configure the behavior of the wireless switch in the BIOS, but I can't find any settings like this in the BIOS of my T61. I want to be able to turn the bluetooth radio off when I'm on battery.

    Thanks

    Hit the function key then F5. This will bring up a dialog box where you can control the wifi and bluetooth separately.
