    Does any of your Fn combos work? If not, install the ATK drivers... they control all of those.

    Hmm...

    1. Make sure your wireless card is installed properly.
    2. Make sure you have a wireless card :D
    3. Make sure that you have appropriate drivers installed for them.

    Are you using the Intel Pro Wireless card? If not, you might be using the Athero card or some other brand?

    Currently right now, the standard ATK software only support Intel Pro Wireless card 2219. If you are using some other brand, you need to do a reg hack for it.
