In fact when I went to my MS side, I had to use the

Two things come to mind:
- There might be a BIOS setting to switch on wireless by default.
- Make sure you have enables wireless when you shutdown Windows.


Check BIOS and didn't find a switch to enable wireless. I did find out
that the fn-f2 key combination does enable networking in Ubuntu or at
least it turns on the indicator light . :)

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
