    The answer is given in the question:
    RF_KILL bit toggled to disable radio.
    Please move the wireless switch to 'On.'

    Re: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 ubuntu 10.10

    Very stupid.... there is a button on the right side of the x200 which disables wireless (on top of the Fn + F5)...

    changed the button and it seems to be working now....
