Hey guys, i just started using Ubuntu 12.04LTS and i can't seem to solve my issue. I've been hovering around the forums for a while but none of the solutions i've seen have worked on mine. I'd love to have this fixed xD

Problem: Wireless disabled by hardware switch
How i got here: I reformatted my entire computer and replaced my Win Vista with Ubuntu Karmic Koala then i upgraded and upgraded till i got to Ubuntu 12.04
