    Does anyone know of a small and simple Vista Gadget that lets you turn on/off your wireless card? I currently have to go through so many menus to turn off my wireless card since it does not have the option when I right click the icon located on the bottom right.

    This is all to save battery life when not plugged in. This would let me turn off and on the card when needed on my D630. Thank you.

    Is there not a button directly on the machine to do this?
