There are plenty of askubuntu similar issues. (e.g. http://askubuntu.com/questions/139036/ubuntu-12-04-says-wireless-is- disabled-by-hardware-switch) and launchpad answers too.
The wireless shuts down and won't turn on again after the switch in turned on. Proposed solution is to run "rfkill unblock all" from terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997900 Title: Wireless is disabled by hardware switch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/997900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
