The wifi is disabled by default if I run GNU/Linux on my laptop from a livecd or a usb drive. It isn't disabled when windows boots up, unless I previously disabled it in the mobility control center. If my laptop has a key which enables/disables wifi, I haven't yet found it. In case this key does exist, and someone would like to enlighten me on where it is, I have a Acer Aspire as5733-6838.
