I looked back in the thread and I could find no indication that the Fn key sequence was indicated to exist or
was tried.

I understand that plugging in the ethernet cable results in a hard block.  However, it seems one should at least see if the Fn key then overrides that.  If that has been tried I can't find it.  Then again, I've been distracted
these days.

Most Windows users that I know only have one interface active at a time.  So, the design of the ethernet
disabling Wifi may be based on those types.  :-) :-)

Many of my friends, my father, my siblings, and I have all worked for various government agencies or contractors (for one of this group, all the Lenovo laptops were confiscated by IT).  WiFi was not permitted in many government workplaces, and you were not allowed to connect a switch or router to the one LAN port in your office/cubicle.   Some people got around this by running AP's on their laptops, so it would not surprise me that a Lenovo laptop marketed to governments would have firmware that does not allow simultaneous use of ethernet and wifi.   I once attempted to purchase a couple Lenovo laptops, but was told I had to work with Lenovo's government sales office.  I was told they normally deal in purchases quantities in the many 1000's, but always had a few extras built so if I could wait until an order was complete I might be able to get one of the extra systems.   I assume those extras end up being sold in irregular channels.
