And thank you Tom. I tried pressing my wifi switch when in BIOS. But it is in a touch panel, so I cannot switch it on manually. And I wonder whether your wifi switch is in a touch panel or a seperate button? Thanks!
Not quite sure what you mean by "touch panel", I guess mine is not though. It is a Fn+<something> combination.
Cheers,

IIUC he needs a GUI to press the button?! There's no "real" switch?! Anyway, I installed Ubuntu to get my Wi-Fi USB adapter supported, it still doesn't work as needed, but already is available, IOW my iPad is able to "see" the USB adapter of my Linux PC, but I don't get an Internet connection, or anything that is stable, instead of being connected and disconnected and connected and disconnected ... all the times. If I should get it working with Ubuntu, I'll compare it with my Arch Linux for troubleshooting. Wi-Fi is a PITA and I experienced Arch as more problematic as Ubuntu "might be". I also don't have a Windows installed, resp. I've got an install for VirtualBox on Arch Linux with a Windows to run an iThingy as long as WLAN doesn't work. Wi-Fi seems to be an issue with Linux, I'm uncertain to install a Windows, I already hate to run it with VirtualBox. Regards, Ralf
