I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Acer Aspire 4349 with AR9485 wireless network adapter. The wired connection works fine, but I can't connect to wireless. The enable wireless tab is not listed on the network manager. Please help me with this. Thank you.

I ran the following command.

sudo rfkill unblock all to unblock all wireless adapters. (try it)
