I either have the same or a very similar problem. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with integrated Intel Wireless. Laptop worked perfectly in Gutsy. In Hardy the "wifi light" never turns on or flashes, and I believe network manager won't bring the interface up because it can't detect its status. If I run 'sudo ifdown eth1 ; sudo ifup eth1' then it will work correctly but the light still never turns on or blinks (this part is not as much of an issue for me). I have included what I believe to be relevant log excerpts. And on a side note module iwlwifi_mac80211 is loaded, yet this is not a Mac. BTW, all this is evident off the boot CD also. And on my setup wlan0 gets renamed to eth1 on startup.
