I've tried that! I am being helped by Luis Henriques with this problem. It seems that new grub files (amilorfkill) have stopped noexec=off from having any effect.

 ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-notes Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979253 Title: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at c00fdd20 Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: === RELEASE NOTES === Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M 7400 and Maxdata 7000DX wireless RF kill handling triggers a kernel panic preventing wireless from operating correctly. This may be worked around by editing your kernel command line and adding "noexec=off". (Bug:979253) === Original bug report: I used to be able to turn on my Intel wireless adaptor by typing sudo modprobe fsam7400 radio=1 into a terminal, but since upgrading my operating system to Ubuntu 12.04 this no longer works. If you could send me a new code, preferably one that could turn wireless on permanantly, I would be very grateful. Release Notes: The fsam7400 driver directly invokes BIOS code to turn on/off the RF switch in this platform. However, the memory pages where this BIOS code is mapped is marked as non-executable and this is what causes the issue. WORK AROUND: As a temporary workaround, it is possible to boot the kernel with 'noexec=off' parameters. Details on how to modify kernel parameters can be obtained in section "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters.
