How to turn on wifi when Mac starting

Hi, all

 

I am a fresh man to OSXLatitude. Here i met a issue about wifi.

 

I installed the Moutain lion 10.8.4 and use the AR9285 wlan card. The wifi can work well in my OS. However, I must press "Fn + F2" to turn on wifi each time.

 

My question:

 

Can i do this action (turn on wifi without press Fn + F2 manually) by using DSDT?

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

My DSDT: DSDT.zip

Shame, it sounds like you have a laptop and wireless services can often be set to activated/disabled from BIOS. What system are we talking about here?

 

Sorry to late response.

 

My environment as below:

 Motherboard: Pegatron A24(Intel HM65)

 OS: win7 + ubuntu12.04 + ML10.8.4

I think the motherboard is irrelevant, I was hoping to get details like make and model of your laptop to see if there was something doable via BIOS. But if Wireless enabling/disabling is not do-able from system BIOS, then yes, I guess a DSDT edit might be the thing to look for.

Thanks for your detail answer. It seems that I missed something important which can prove I have enabled my wifi via biso.

 

Please refer to the attached Image at #1. The DSDT is also put there. Would you please take a look at my DSDT? Thanks very much.
