ubuntu - Cannot enable wireless

I cannot enable my wireless by using the function key.


And most importantly I cannot enable my wireless. It should turn blue when I click on it (fn f12), but it remains red.


My my HP Mini, I also have Fedora 17 on a separate partition. When I boot I can activate the using the fn keys wireless.


Everything seems to be ok with loading the modules, fireware, etc.

In the above is says it is disabled. I think that this is because I cannot enable it on the fn key.
