Anyone have any ideas on how to get wlan0 running?
What Linux(?) distro did you install on the laptop?
Installed devuan daedalus (like debian stable except no systemd).

All the hardware features I tried are working. I heard an odd noise from the laptop. The fan sounds like it needs to be changed. I was hoping for longer battery life compared to my Windows based laptop (that runs at 100% CPU most of the time). The laptop arrived with 92% battery life and I ran it for about 9 hours today.
Dunno what to do but connman refuses to connect. RF-kill was alive and well - - - I just sent it away (permanently!). When I use #ip link set wlan0 up there is no result (normal) but when I go #ip link show wlan0 I'm still getting wlan0: <NO-CARRIER, BROADCAST, MULTICAST, DYNAMIC,UP> mtu,1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DORMANT group default glen 1000 so - - - how do I kick this thing in the pants to get wlan0 working? TIA
