How to disable/enable bluetooth with Fn-F5 with Thinkpad R61?


Hey all.

I have just bought a used Lenovo Thinkpad R61.

Most of the things works in Squeeze like it did with Vista.

But a bit annoying is that when i Vista with the "Fn-F5" could turn both wireless and bluetooth on and off. Now it is only wireless that works that way.

On the top panel i can turn both wireless and bluetooth on and off, but it is still annnnoying.

Is the a way to make all keys funktion on my Thinkpad?

Best regards

I am not sure whether this problem is solved or not. You are not running the newest kernel, so the bug might still be in. Check my installation report on the T61, this might be applicable to you as well. The link is in my signature.
