Hi,
i've been having the problem that I outlined in pretty significant depth in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=802894
What it basically seems to be boiling down to is that I accidentally toggled a button on my laptop (gazp5) to turn off the wireless. This is based on the fact that when I type in:
sudo cat /var/log/messages | grep switch
the response I get is a whole bunch of

May 22 14:18:38 ubuntu kernel: [ 43.110673] iwl3945: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch
Going back to when the wireless went out sometime yesterday evening. There are a couple other random things in the log, but none seem particularly interesting.
Anyway, when I press Fn+F2 to turn the wireless back on, nothing happens, so I'm not sure if this is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
