    if you have access to your wifi card, isolating one of its connectors with type will switch it on permanently. There are a few threads on the internet explaining which the process.

    Edit:
    Old wifi, you have to isolate pin 11 and 13.

    For small format wifi, the pin is pin 20.

    I tried the hack with a full format wifi module but didn't try with a small format one. If pin 20 doesn't just use google and you'll find which pin to isolate.
