I found the solution here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182490

I had to add "pciehp_force=1" to my kernel options, note that this is advanced stuff, doing something wrong might leave your Ubuntu installation unbootable!

1. Edit your GRUB menu list:
   sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
2. Add the option: Search for "defoptions" and add the entry. the line should look like this (with the #):
   # defoptions=quiet splash pciehp_force=1
3. Save and exit the editor
4. Run
   sudo update-grub
5. Reboot

After that, you can enable/disable wireless as described above, or with eee-control (http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/ , Thanks to algorithm13 for the link!)
