    Has anyone been successful in enabling the wifi switch of this laptop in an OS other than Windows?

    Any hints/tips will be appreciated.

      cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2*00/*/rf_kill
      push the button/switch
      cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2*00/*/rf_kill
      check the values, i they are different (0 VS 2) then your switch is working.
      If it doesn't change values try acerhk, fsam7400, pbe5, av5100 and do the test again. With some of these drivers you need to echo "1" > /proc/some_file to enable the wireless radio switch.
