    on the thinkpad t400, is it possible to disable the "integrated Bluetooth PAN" if i don't need it currently? this is both for security reasons and potentially to conserve power when i don't need it/am not using it.

    FN key + F5 key. A black dialog box should come up where you can shutoff/turn on the bluetooth and or wifi.
