Warning!!!
Wireless Radio Switch is not working. One can switch off radio but one can not switch it on again. Only one possybilities is to install windows and switch on the wireless radio. So don't switch radio off because it is imposibble to switch it on. Don't worry it is difficult to switch radio off by the mistake. You need to combine two switches in order to switch radio off: Fn+F2. They are far away from themselves.The rest swithes(including volume up/down)are working. Here is lspci listning:
