    thanks in advance for your input.

    On the road, so the wireless switch is on, both wifi and bt are enabled.
    Come home, slap the x201 in the Ultrabase.
    Wired connection takes over.
    Want to leave. Undock x201 and go.
    On the road, wireless card is disabled. Must troubleshoot and enable wireless.

    WHY does it not remember?

    This is not an issue if I remember to turn off the wireless switch prior to docking, but this kills my BT which I need (sometimes) for a keyboard.

    I found this issue with the Lenovo Access Connection Profile utility disables the WiFi card when it attaches to a LAN connection. Either edit the profile or right click on the utility on the taskbar and manage the wireless radio and turn it back on...
