Yes, most laptops have that, but from what he's said that's not the problem. The
wifi is only disabled when the ethernet cable is plugged in. That's the weird part,
but since it also happens in windows, it must be a hardware thing.
OK, this was a rather long thread which I wasn't closely following. I just recall him
saying at the start that
there wasn't a switch on the laptop.
