What is expected to happen is Network Manager populates networks within range immediately when ones laptop hardswitch is turned on, whether the ethernet cord is plugged in or not. 4) What happened instead is when the hardswitch is off, ethernet plugged in, one removes the ethernet cord, then within seconds turn the hardswitch on so the wifi indicator light is on, no networks are in range, even after waiting a few minutes. Please see screenshot.png for scenario where the ethernet cord is plugged in, wifi switch on and no wifi networks populate Network Manager. If questions exist, please ask.

In 12.04 it notes "wireless is disabled by hardware switch". Please see screenshot.png for scenario where the ethernet cord is plugged in, wifi switch on and no wifi networks populate Network Manager. WORKAROUND: Reboot the pc with the ethernet cord unplugged, wireless hardswitch turned on. WORKAROUND: In Ubuntu 11.04, with wireless hardswitch turned off, ethernet cable plugged in, perform a clean boot. Disconnect ethernet cord then turn on wireless hardswitch and notice no wireless networks in the area.
