    Has anyone else had issues with the wireless not always staying on? Whenever I put my computer in sleep or dont use the wireless for a bit then it turns itself off (software based) the hardware switch is still on.

    Does anyone else notice this with their x301's or any other lenovo's?

    If you are using Windows 7 you can go to: Network and Sharing Center--> Change adapter Settings and choose your Wireless Network Connection and go to properties-->Configure--> Power management and make sure that "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is unchecked.
