    I have a sz680 and have wireless switch setting utility v3.6 that actually does the on/off of the radios.

    then there is a program vaio smart network that you can customize stuff but I really never use that one.

    Hi Stephen, you mean like this?

    The program won't let me turn off both WLAN and Bluetooth. If I do that, it says that I have to enable at least one device. Can you turn off both devices with yours?

    If you want to turn them both off then you have to turn the WLAN switch off on the notebook itself. This is by design.

    Oh OK but can you turn both of them off by running Vaio Smart Network that Stephen is saying?
