On a dell insperon 17 the Fn+F2 should turn wifi on/off - it does not.
Addtionally, dissabling bluetooth turns off Wifi and you cannot recover using the GUI.
This recipy get's wiFi back on, although I just borrowed it from other users with the same issue and have not figured out what it does.

sudo modprobe iwlagn power_level=5
sudo modprobe btusb reset=1
sudo rfkill unblock all

This is in 11.10 and 12.04 LTS beta 2 (I had hoped 12.04 fixed it)
