    I have a t61p (15.4, wuxga, 570m, vista 32-bit ultimate). I'm finding the IBM software acts a bit spastic when coming out of hibernate mode. Often it just plain isn't there.

    While it seems to happen with everything (Fn + F2, F3, F4, F5, F7, F8, F9, F12) the most problematic is the wireless management (Fn+F5)

    In normal operation pressing Fn+F5 brings up the window with the option to enable/disable wlan, bluetooth, wusb etc. Sometimes after a resume for suspend, pressing it does nothing (I can see the cursor flick to the eggtime quickly, but nothing else happens). I have tried manually running the TpFnF5.exe but nothing happens either.

    How can I do either or both of these things:
    1. Fix it so that it works.
    2. SELECTIVELY enable/disable wireless/bt in some other manner.

    I've tried reinstalling the drivers. This does not seem to have changed anything.
