It's a seperate on/off and yes it might be broken, it doesn't seem to be working.Maybe Madvinegar have a amazingly command.

Hi,

does the PC still have Windows installed and is the Wifi working with that??.

Did you try it out in "Live Mode" before installing and did it work??.

Regards Wolfman

Try
sudo rfkill unblock all

Even though this command usually works for soft-blocks.

Enter your BIOS settings and see if there is any ooption to enable your wireless from there.

Hi madvinegar sudo rfkill unblock all didn't work and in bios the wireles is enabled.There are no windows on the machine only zorin lite. The additional drivers can't find any drivers at all.In live mode it say " wireless is disabled by hardware switch " in Zorin lite "live" and Ubuntu 12.10 "live" it say the same.But I think it might be the switch that's broken..

Sorry for wasting your time I have just been talking to the man, he say that it never been working.. Problem solved...
