    Hi everybody!!

    I ve just bought a VAIO Z13 and find it so great!!

    I have a Bluetooth mouse and want to use it, but I'd also like to be able to switch wireless network on and off. I know that I can do it with the VAIO Smart Network, but it's a bit of a PAIN opening that windows, clicking on the switch and closing the window each time I want to do so.

    Is there a way to configure the physucal switch to control only the network module (much prefered option) or another way to turn WiFi easier (assign a S1 or S2 button, a single click icon in my systray...) (non prefered option)

    Thanks in advance for your help!!

    I doubt it. I think the switch is hard-wired to turn on/off both the wifi and bluetooth.

    In other words, with the switch in the "off" position, there is nothing you can do in software to have bluetooth working.
