Is Bluetooth dependent on the Wifi Card?

Some time ago I removed a faulty wifi card as it was causing system troubles. It was, in fact, a faulty card. Since that time I've been connected via ethernet.

Recently I tried to turn on my Bluetooth to use a bluetooth device, using Fn + F5, and received the message, "The Hardware wireless radio switch must be in the on position to use the wireless radios."

I looked in BIOS, but could see nothing applicable. Is it possible that Bluetooth will not work in the absence of a WiFi card?

Thanks

After puzzling over the diagram in the manual, I realized the radio switch is on the front left side.

All is good.

No.

BT has nothing to do with wi-fi on T60p.

Is the physical switch on the lower left corner of your laptop set to "on", though? I'd venture a guess that it's not...

Nana ie no it is not. Check the hardware on/off switch and also the Thinkvantage software to make sure its turned on and you should be good to go. Aight.

isn't that switch on the front left on the t61 for the wifi?

The switch turns all radios on/off.
