   Sounds like IBM screwed something up between the T30 and T42.  You =
don't say what further properties it is to which you refer but it sounds =
like the adapter specific properties which is controlled by the adapter =
device driver and hardware.

   Doesn't IBM offer an option like that offered by other manufactures =
to turn off the wireless without having to tell Windows to disable the = device?

       This is exactly what I described.  It disables the adapter.  =

          and it has spent every day since then slowly changing things =
back when you
          aren't looking...

          Latest change I found, if you go into my network places =
properties and
          disable wireless on a laptop, when you re-enable it the =
hardware is turned
          off, what the heck is that all about? On W2K I can just =
enable/disable at
          will and one undoes the other but with XP to enable it again I =
have to first
          enable then go find the stupid hardware setting and change the =
radio back to
          ON..

          Geo.
