XP Pro
IBM Thinkpad T41p
Wireless card Intel Pro/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adaptor

A client is using this and his wireless button is turning itself off every 5
minutes or so.  Looking into device manager, all seems fine except the Wiress
off button keeps doing whatever it wants even if i have a connection that is
not idle.  It connects fine on 3G and had no problems, but not vis Wireless.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Chris

Have you contacted IBM ??   Perhaps they've seen this problem before.
