I Can't Disable Wi-fi Catcher In The Bios

Some days ago I Accidentally changed the position of the WI-FI Catcher on my new DELL E4300 and I needed much time to find the reason why can't I use WI-FI. I found it but I'm not the only one to use this machine and I don't want that this swich works again in the hand of someone else. So I tried to disable it in the bios. But nothing changed, Equal what do I set in the BIOS the WI-FI Catcher ignores the BIOS setting.Is there a way to deactivate the WI-FI Catcher?

I Know the Answer!

palotasimre,
Under wireless in the BIOS is a section called wifi catcher, This field lets you enable or disable the Wi-Fi CatcherT82; feature. If this setting is set to Disabled, the Wi-Fi Catcher request position on the wireless switch will be ignored. If this setting is set to Enabled, the Wi-Fi catcher switch is enabled and will use the previously configured options. If Reset to Basic Mode is selected the Wi-Fi Catcher options will be written such that the Wi-Fi Catcher will search for any available network and the Wi-Fi catcher will be set to Enabled. The QuickSet application should be used to configure and view the Wi-Fi catcher advanced options.

The factory default setting is Enabled.

Thank You,
