Forgot to mention. I've got an IBM ThinkPad R31.
It was specifically the R31 where IBM on line documentation mentioned Fn-F5 combo. Google will find it.
It could be they were forced to add it in software or face being banned on airlines: From: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/c79plac41.pdf
Q12:. Can the Fn+F5 key combination be used on all ThinkPad computers to enable or disable the wireless features?
A:You can use that key combination to enable or disable the wireless features only if ThinkPad Hotkey Features Version 1.03.0391 or later is installed on your computer. If it is installed, the wireless icon is printed on the F5 key.
There's no icon on F5 and Fn-F5 has no effect.
