    I am using T61p and when I try to open wireless panel(Fn+F5), it only shows bluetooth setting up!
    Wireless internet works very well since I installed all of drivers properly however I cant turn wirless internet off on wireless panel only bluetooth turning off is possible!
    It means I have to turn off wireless switch which is on the edge of TP to turn off wireless internet!
    Sometime, I want to turn off wireless internet only! not both wireless internet and bluetooth!
    Anyone know how to solve this problem? Please help me..

    HP has a little program (some folks uninstall it as bloatware) that allows independent control over WiFi and BT. Is there an IBM/Lenovo counterpart available?

    I have encountered this problem when using the wireless driver from Intel. The solution was to use the driver from Lenovo.
