Hi,
I have a T41 (TP12GSP) with Wireless (Intel 802.11b) and bluetooth.
The question is... how do I disable the wireless? In W$ you just have
to press the Fn+F5 and select "Disable" for the Wireless and/or the
Bluetooth.
But in Linux if I do Fn+F5 it turns on/off _only_ bluetooth (I don't
really know if it works or not, buf the bluetooth led changes on/off
:-)).
Right now, only in Linux, my battery only lasts about 3hrs, but in W$
it almost reaches 5hrs (disabling wireless). So I would like to try
the same in Linux...
Ops! My system is a Debian Unstable, 2.6.9(with acpi)+software-suspend+ipw2100.
Thanks for all,
