You system appears to have wireless disabled by the killswitch or rfkill values from the kernel, you can fix this by verify the following things:

- Make sure the file in /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state reads "true" for all three options, especially WirelessEnabled. If you need to change it to true, stop network-manager first, then start it again when done ("sudo stop network-manager", edit the file, then "sudo start network-manager").

- Run the following command "rfkill unblock 0" ; this should lift the rfkill block on your wireless device; you can verify its operation with the "rfkill list" command.

Note, your bluetooth seems to be disabled too, you may want to do "rfkill unblock 1" as well if you want to use it.

Since the soft switch on the keyboard doesn't appear to work, you should file a separate bug about it: you can do so by using the "ubuntu-bug linux" command and describing the issue; the necessarily logs should be attached automatically.
