In the BIOS is an option to toggle between "Disabled" and "Last State" and "Last State" is selected. I have no access to its old Windows installation, since the HDD died long ago.
In antiX (which I'll probably use for this laptop) I got a WLAN stick running which also doesn't seem to work in MX (enabling Wi-Fi in the taskbar doesn't do anything, maybe it tries to enable wlan0), but my main concern is about the internal wlan.
Any ideas? Apart from that problem the laptop seems to run smoothly.

Boot Mode: BIOS (legacy, CSM, MBR)EDIT:
After some trial and error I found out the status LEDs right of the power buttons apparently are some kind of touch buttons. But unfortunately the WLAN button doesn't seem to do anything. The others respond by getting slightly lighter for a second. I guess I'm out of luck here?
