I have a problem with my keyboard and I can not enable my wireless because the fn + F5 does not work. I can enable the wireless card on Ubuntu without this key (fn + F5)?

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx

Bring up the terminal and put in 

rfkill list

If it says "Soft blocked: Yes" then type in 

rfkill unblock wifi

If it says "Hard blocked: Yes" (which I think it will) see about enabling your card in the bios. Also check your fn key emulation in the bios as well.
