[Bug 523143] Re: Wireless RFKILL defaults to on (wireless off) and can't be turned off.

I have a very similar problem on my Dell Studio laptop running 10.04 beta 2. This laptop has no hard switch, you have to press the f2 key to enable/disable wireless. Pressing this key toggles "Soft Blocked" between "yes" and "no" but hard blocked is always set to "yes" hence no wireless. -- Wirel

Good(ish) news: It seems that this bug has been fixed in versions 3.6 and later of nautilus (see below). Ubuntu LTS users (like me) are currently on 3.4. It would be good if ubuntu pushed an update that upgraded the nautilus version. Otherwise I guess we wait until April 2014 https://bug
