Chris,
Try this command in a terminal and you will know if the wireless
switch is turned off.
rfkill list
Here is what mine returns.
test@test-Latitude-D620:~$ rfkill list

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

If you go to the forum try "Networking & Wireless" I used to spend
lots of time there..
and the guys there are very helpful .. be careful you might become a
