In Quantal, booted with ethernet plugged in, hardswitch turned off,
removed ethernet cord, turned hardswitch on, unchecked Enable Wireless,
checked Enable Wireless and WiFi network automatically connected.
This works for me.

3) What is expected to happen is when one does a fresh boot with the
ethernet cord plugged in, wireless hardswitch turned off, then log in,
unplug the ethernet cord, and turn on the wireless hard switch,
Network Manager populates networks within range immediately.
4) What happened instead is Wireless remains disabled with no networks
in range, even after waiting a few minutes. In 12.04 it notes
"wireless is disabled by hardware switch".
Please see screenshot.png for scenario where the ethernet cord is
plugged in, wifi switch on and no wifi networks populate Network
Manager.
WORKAROUND: Reboot the pc with the ethernet cord unplugged, wireless
hardswitch turned on.
WORKAROUND: In Ubuntu 11.04, with wireless hardswitch turned off,
ethernet cable plugged in, perform a clean boot. Disconnect ethernet
cord then turn on wireless hardswitch and notice no wireless networks
in the area. Perform the following via the Terminal:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo stop network-manager
network-manager stop/waiting
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo start network-manager
network-manager start/running, process 5172
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Notice one may see wireless networks in range and successfully
connected.
