    Since I've owned this machine, the wifi has connected to wireless networks as soon as it boots up. I was writing an email today and clicked send, got a screen that says 'no wireless networks connected make sure your wifi switch is turned on'.

    As you know, there is no hardware switch for the CF29 (mine anyway). Is there a certain key combination or something, such as FN xx, or CTRL xx?

    I went to device manager and it says the adapter is working properly etc. Any help appreciated, I kind of need wifi functionality on this particular laptop. Thank you!

    EDIT: Never mind. I found it. FN/F8. Of course it's the only key without some kind of icon for the FN function. Thanks anyway.

    Thanks Shawn. I found it. It is a CF29 and I have no switch, or display like your pic shows. On mine, FN/F8 turn wireless on/off.
