D610 WiFi light turning off
My green wifi light goes off by itself and the only way to activate it is to toggle the
fn-F2 keys, or reboot.
I have updated bios to A04. Updated the Intel 2200bg drivers and Toshiba Bluetooth Drivers to the newest ones on Dell's site. Also I have a Linksys WRT54G router. I have flashed it to the current firmware.
Any ideas what could be causing this issue?
Happens using battery or a/c adapter
Thanks,
Erik

Welcome to the user forum.
My Bluetooth is a TM300 on a D800 with Widcomm Drivers.
It only once "turned itself off, to save power" but I believe it had been caused by
a check in the following location.
Start; Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, Universal Serial Bus Controllers,
USB Root Hub (four of those on mine). Double click that line and open Power Management
Tab and look for a check in "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power",
no mention of 'on battery'. Only one for Bluetooth but I unticked all four, have plenty
of power.
While the Microsoft SP2 Bluetooth Stack had briefly taken control, there had also been
one of those checkboxes in Device Manager in one of the Bluetooth lines as well.
If none of those are checked, I would look elsewhere in all Power Management locations
to find a 'problem causing' setting.

Art,
It is actually the green "wifi" light that goes out. I appear to maintain a network connection though. The blue "bluetooth" light to the right of the "wifi" light stays on ok.
Thanks,
Erik
