I've been trying kernel 3.4 for the past few days (to try and resolve another issue) and I can confirm that the wireless button works fine in 3.4. I can now boot up with the switch off (it boots much quicker with wireless off) and then switch wireless on at the desktop and my wireless works fine and switching the wireless on and off as required works as before (as it did in 10.04).
I have no idea if this was fixed in an earlier kernel than 3.4. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-nettool in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995992 Title: Wireless not working properly on my Dell Inspiron 1525 Status in “gnome-nettool” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I installed ubuntu 12.04, replacing 10.04 I was previously using. Now if I don't have my wireless switch to the on position at boot, I have no wireless and cannot enable it on the laptop, I have to re-start the laptop with the wireless switch on. Earlier in 10.04 I can switch on my laptop & can enable or disable the wifi using hardware switch as & when required.
