When I use gnome network manager it indicates that wireless is disabled by hardware switch while it is not. Even in windows I can not turn on my wireless!

I just tried this:

shell> sudo rfkill list all

The output was something like this:

0: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
4: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

Then I have run this command:

shell> sudo rfkill unblock wifi

and all is fine now :) Have fun :) I hope it will help you :)
