Ever since I installed 9.04 on my thinkpad from xp, everytime i boot, the wifi and blue tooth will be switched on. Using Fn+F5, instead of switching off BT, I switched of wifi numerous times. (when i was downloading important files...:().

 I dont know if it is correct or not, i did as follows

sudo edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

# What value should be assumed for the adapter Powered property when
# SetProperty(Powered, ...) hasn't been called yet. Defaults to true
InitiallyPowered = false

# Remember the previously stored Powered state when initializing adapters
RememberPowered = true

I changed the "InitiallyPowered" from true to false.

Now everytime i bootup, BT does not appear. So whenever i want, i simply go to system/preference/bluetooth/general, just click the tpacpi......kill switch... BT switches on..

To swith off, i dont use Fn+F5 (fearing to loose wifi again, so i right click the icon and remove the check mark in kill switch..

It works ok so for.
cheers
