[nfbcs] rf kill on laptop

[Jude DaShiell]

The acer aspire 5003wlmi notebook which is what's written on the 
hardware has buttons near the screen and some of those slide to the 
right.  One of them is supposed to enable wifi, and so far as I know my 
configuration is correct but that doesn't yet happen.  Everyone can 
define front differently since buttons are on the edge of the laptop 
goins south from the touchpad too.  It's possible the wifi no longer 
works on this computer too which if so would be really frustrating.  The 
north edge of the computer nearest the screen has in the northeast 
corner an on/off button.

Thanks for your research, and it may be useful to develop a descriptor 
standard we can us among ourslves.

With a device flat on table such as this, I'd describe the opening switch 
as on top edge of case due south where south is closest to me and dvd 
burner is on west edge.  Right hand would be east side and leftt hand 
would be west side.On Thu, 17 Sep 2015, Larry Wayland via nfbcs wrote:
