Strange #linux question.
I've got this Acer aspire 4752, and the damn Wi-Fi is hard blocked, and can't seem to unlock it.
Fn f3 should flip it but it doesn't, there is nothing in bios, and I've blacklisted acer-wmi and acer_wmi.
Nothing seems to work. It's as if there is a hard wifi switch on it. But there isn't.
I've never seen anything like this. Ideas?
