T61p. Switching on wireless lights up Bluetooth LED

As the topic says, when I move the switch to turn on my wireless, the Bluetooth LED switch turns on instead. And it seems I can't enable 'roaming mode' for the wireless. I have the iwl4965 driver in my modules.

Bump. I found that this problem exists in Windows as well. It's as if the wireless toggle turns on the Bluetooth wireless instead of the Intel one.

Check your bios and see if you can change what gets turned on/off with the switch.

nope. Nothing there. Only thing suspicious was this Intel AMT thing, which was disabled. The discription didn't seen it was related.

Any function keys as well?  I know some dells had a fn + some_button to turn on wireless as well.  After that I am out of ideas.  Have the manual?

Mine is Fn+F5. But I'm in Ubuntu now, and under keyboards, it doesn't have the IBM T61 keyboard layout, only the generic one. In Windows, pressing Fn+F5 should bring up Access Connections, but since I didn't install it, it won't work. This is a very odd problem, because of all the times of dual booting and installing OSes, this is the first time it happened.

In ubuntu, it also turns on the bluetooth rather than the wireless
