WIFI is always disabled by hardware switch after reboot.

Hi, i've just restored my machine today.
but now, my wifi is always disabled by hardware switch after reboot. seems like the configuration is not remembered.
so, i'm always press Fn+F3 to connect internet through wifi after restarting/turn on my machine.
how do i fix this problem ?

thanks.

1. Don't necrobump: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … bumping.22

2. Don't post "solutions" that are brain-dead "click this" answers on a site dedicated to another distro. Especially when you have no idea why it "works".
