Sorry, but what you're running into is typical of the driver issues attempting to use laptops that come preinstalled with Windows, instead with Linux distros.  I ran into this all the time when I dual-booted my laptop, to the degree that I removed Ubuntu because I had to remember to ENABLE WiFi in Windows before switching; otherwise, it would be disabled in Linux.

 

There really isn't anything you can do, because if the Linux distro did not install a working WiFi button driver, like with my laptop, you are simply out of luck.
