I checked all the hardware options:

	- BIOS (reloaded defaults, changed all the settings I
	  could find, ...)

	- tried all the Fn+F# combinations and nothing

BIOS says it's active and so's Bluetooth, but when Linux boots ... don't work 
:( It's not too bad for me because I never use Bluetooth and don't use 
wireless much, so I'm not that stressed out ;)

Just mentioned this in case someone else has this NIC and has issues.

I'll try a previous kernel version and see, but I can't tell for sure when 
that will be (a bit messed up right now).

Thanks for your help everybody :)

   Rafa
