[Techtalk] Basic Q, can't find answers elsewhere

[mgmonza at iceland.freeshell.org]

Thanks, Lisa.  The post did give me a temporary fix.  I have a switch 
on the front of the T60 to physically turn off wireless, but didn't even 
think of that until the post reminded me (doh!).

I'll keep searching for a more system wide solution, though.  Not having a 
built-in Linux way to turn off processes at startup just seems 
so, so... Windows.
