    Hi everyone,

    Didn't find any thread about this, so: I'm doing a dualboot (win7/linux) and since secureboot implies the use of uefi, i had to revert to the good old csm bios.
    The only problem i've got is that the wlan/bt is automatically turned on right after the samsung logo, before booting into win7/linux, and cannot be turned off (no settings for it) in the bios setup (version p04abj).

    Any ideas?

    You should be able to turn WiFi and BT on /off on the (Easy) Settings Wireless Network page and there is check box for "Maintain the previous settings when the system restarts".

    Have you tried this option? I recall that some months ago it didn't work on my Series 9 but haven't tried it recently.

    I use those features in Easy Settings. But unfortunately they only disable WiFi and/or BT after Easy Settings is loaded, some 30 seconds after user login. WiFi and BT will always be on when the PC boots -- and even while it is waiting for user login.

    I wish it worked like on my HP, where turning on/off WiFi or BT is persistent, even across other operating systems.
