Comment 13 for bug 296663

I found this bug report while researching on how to enable wireless for a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Sa3560-L I'm thinking of purchasing (actually I'm now sending this from one such test machine).

I tried Kubuntu 9.04 LiveCD and while there was both an output and the expected function for Fn+F3 (mute), Fn+F4/F5 (volume up/down) Fn+F1 did absolutely nothing (yes, that's the WiFi AND/OR Bluetooth On/Off combo).

From Vista the combination brings up a "Wireless Status Option" window that asks to "tick" which device(s) I want to switch on/off (in this case the WiFi and Bluetooth).
This seems to be a generic app for Fujitsu-Siemens laptops as there is also the option for UMTS and WUSB on/off which are grayed out as there is no such function with this laptop.

As the OP I am convinced that it's not a matter of Ubuntu not being able to load the appropriate WiFi driver but rather that the hot-key combo to turn the device on simply doesn't work...

Since this is a display machine at the store I am unable to further tinker with it but I'd be very grateful if there was a solution or even a workaround to this as this can understandably be a make it or break it deal.
