There is nothing consistent about the environment other than the hardware. I have seen this: * Connected to various different Access Points in different locations. * With eCS V2.0 RC2 * With Ubuntu Linux [V810] it does not seem to actually be stopping the transmission of data. And, with only one exception, sliding the switch under the lower-left of the keyboard OFF/ON will turn the light back on solid for some indefinite period. But, then it starts again after a while. Therefore, I can only attribute the problem to the hardware. But before I open a hardware ticket with IBM/Lenovo, I'd like to know if anyone else has seen the problem and resolved it without a service call. -- TIA Carl
