Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 10.04.03 LTS was installed recently using Wubi in WinXP home
edition. I used a full partition (26GB) for Ubuntu. Wireless works well
in WinXP on same laptop. So hardware has no problem. But no wireless
network can be found in Ubuntu by network-manager or Wicd. Manually
inputing wireless ESSID and password in network-manager didn't help. I
have tried all commands related to wireless network I can find. The
output are as below. It seems wireless card was disabled. But I couldn't
find way to enable it.

I may have disabled (reenabled later) wireless card in WinXP when
installing Ubuntu. So I reinstalled Ubuntu using Wubi to check if it's
the problem. But this time I kept wireless enable. The problem is still
same in new Ubuntu. So disabling and reenabling in WinXP was not the
problem. It becomes more like a bug.

I have not find hardware switch on laptop and never use it. It should
not be problem since WinXP works well.

Commands outputs:

$ rfkill list
(no output)

$ sudo lshw -C network
