It's possible the key combo is being caught by the BIOS ... However,
even in that case, if the wireless interface is turned on and off by
the key combo - the kernel driver should log the disappearing and
reappearing interface.  So, the missing log entry validates the fact
that the special function key combo appears to be non-functional...

Anyway, my next step would be to ensure the BIOS is configured to turn
the wireless radio on....

I tried looking for a user guide to help you... and found this...

Very helpful indeed.
