No, this is not a dupe of #99585. The reporter of that bug did not notice that there was an hw switch to turn the wireless card on. This bug is about a notebook (actually many Fujitsu-Siemens notebooks) that do not have this hw switch. Windows is able to turn the wireless card on via software and put rf_kill to 0, instead of 2. Feisty and Gutsy cannot.
