I'm running a dual boot with ubuntu and windows on my HP laptop and I'm having trouble doing any sort of wireless networking after I suspend it. I cannot connect to wifi, I also seem to totally lose any ability to use bluetooth. (The bluetooth isn't really a huge problem but I thought it was weird). If I click on the wifi symbol in the top right corner it says "wifi disabled by hardware switch" but I don't even know where the switch is (or if I even have one). This only happens when I am running ubuntu, not windows.
I've seen similar issues all over the place and I've tried a few solutions already but nothing seems to work.
I used the script provided in the answer to this thread to try and diagnose the problem, the results are here http://pastebin.com/Ga8B1ZW1

I've been trying to find a solution to this problem for about a month now, so far without success so if anyone could help it would be amazing.
