I am afraid that _IS_ the product concept of "ALWAYS ON". Of course you don't have to be always ON, but it requires changing the default settings. Do the following: In Connection Manager -> Tools -> Connectivity Settings -> General: - Connect automatically: WLAN connections - Search interval: Never Idle times tab: - WLAN idle time: 5 minutes This will ensure that for known APs you are connected automatically and when you are idle, it is automatically disconnected. Also, by setting search interval to NEVER, you ensure that WLAN isn't trying to look for known APs all the time. In Display Settings, uncheck "Show LED lights" to turn off the blinking LEDs (I can feel the eyes of marketing and product concepting people boring a hole into my back.) Regards, Amit
