It might not be the cause of the issues, but just in case (and since it might fix killswitch as well), could you please upgrade your wireless adapter's firmware?
iwlagn 0000:07:00.0: Firmware has old API version. Expected v2, got v1. New firmware can be obtained from http://www.intellinuxwireless.org. You can also do so easily by using a newer version of Ubuntu. If possible, please try with in a Live Session using the CD of the current latest version of Ubuntu (version 10.10, "Maverick Meerkat"... see http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu for instructions on how to get the latest release), and see if you still need to turn off the killswitch to be able to use wireless.
