Just installed opensuse 13.1 on a new Asus notebook — freedos, no Windows on it.
Network Manager says Wi-Fi is disabled by hardware switch but notebok has none and Fn+F2 (an icon on it shows an antenna) does not do anything.
I could not find anything related in BIOS.
Booting with Puppy linux from a USB drive I can scan the network with no problems
Thanks for your help
