Just an off the wall suggestion: take a close look and see if
there's a tiny hardware switch that turns wireless on/off,
somewhere on the side of the laptop.

Tried that, there is a surface tap switch just like the one for
Audio. It has no effect since Fedora was installed. <br>
<br>
The root of the problem seems to be that this version of Fedora does
not want to activate the wireless. My HP G64 with the same software
version has no problems whatsoever! It is indeed frustrating.<br>
