    I've had this on all the thinkpads I've owned. I switched off the wireless radio using Fn F5 and back on a few minutes later. Now it turns off simutanesly every few minutes or after reboots. I can't figure out how to avoid this.

    Do you use Access Connections software?
    Do you have ehternet (LAN) connected at the same time?

    No and no. I just use the regular windows network software. Are they clashing? Is one turning off the other? I just want it to get back to the way it was, no random shutting down.

    Nice find, I'd been struggling with my WiFi, as well. Changed settings and all is well now.
