[Deaf-lug] Hardy Heron and wireless

[JGJones]

My Dell comes with a Intel wireless (I tend to get anything that use
Intel wireless as Intel provide open source drivers - thus it "Just
Works")

The hardware switch is on the left hand side of the laptop - rather
obvious to see.

If you don't spot it then you more likely don't have one.

Under Gutsy I could toggle that mode using one of the function keys (FN key + F2 key which has wireless symbol on it).  This doesn't work under Hardy.
