Function keys on a N5030

I recently picked up a Inspiron N5030 Laptop.

Running Windows 7.

On this keyboard if you hit Function key #2 it disabled the wireless.

In order to use Function 2 you have to actually hold the special function key.

This is rather frustrating, because you are online, and accidently hit the key.

Boom, off-line.

Now you have to go back through the firewalls, sign-on, etc.

Does anyone know of a way to change this?

If I could change it so that I have to hit the Function button to disable the wireless card it would be a LOT better!

You can change this by changing the F keys default from Multimedia to Normal. Type Mobility Center in the Start Box to access the Dell customized version of Quickset.
