    i have a T61 and i installed vista business sp1 on it two days ago. It seems like the wireless radio turns off on it automatically after a while possibly after i get a low signal. but it still turns off and i have only noticed this since i installed the service pack. anybody else notice this? i have the lenovo access connections and the intel agn wireless card. are there any new drivers out for it? Thanks

    I can't remember where, but there is an option to let windows disable the device to save power, etc.. I think in the device manager you can go into the properties of the wireless card and set the power saving options there. Its "somewhere".

    good call. its easy to find.
    control panel->device manager->right click the wireless device and hit properties->power management tab->uncheck "let windows turn off the device"
