Description Federico Mena Quintero 2008-10-08 22:27:56 UTC 
My Thinkpad T41p has Fn-F5 to enable/disable Bluetooth (I think --- I'm not sure if it is "disable all radio foo").  However, pressing this key doesn't work to actually turn off the Bluetooth device.

See bug #422194 for the corresponding bug about doing this from the GUI.

Federico, is your system running with the latest Bios?

I'll try to reproduce if I can find a T41p in our office.  Christian, do we have such a system?
Comment 2 Jörg Hermsdorf 2008-10-14 12:21:23 UTC 
I can only confirm, that switching bluetooth on/off using Fn+F5 works on a ThinkPad T60p.

How can I know if it is the latest version?  :)

Check your current bios version:

Compare to the latest bios version available:

I'm sorry to let you go through this, but the severe bios changes done by IBM/Lenovo over the last year make this necessary.
Comment 6 Christian Zoz 2008-10-20 11:16:25 UTC 
The only T41p we have is broken (lmuelle-damage).
We should have a T40p if that helps.
Comment 7 Timo Hoenig 2008-10-28 12:35:33 UTC 
Federico, did you have a chance to test this with a new BIOS?
Comment 8 Holger Macht 2008-10-28 12:39:18 UTC 
Federico, please run acpi_listen and press FN-F5. Any output?
Comment 9 Holger Macht 2008-11-30 14:41:22 UTC 
Closing as NORESPONSE. Please reopen if you can reproduce with RC1 and can provide the requested information.
