[FIX] Enable wireless in Xubuntu 12.04

In Xubuntu 12.04 when I boot my laptop with the wireless switched off and then try to switch it on while the system is already running, won't work.

I click on the network indicator plugin and it says that wireless is disabled by hardware switch, which isn't true. Luckily the solution is quite simple.

Fix

Open a terminal window and run:

sudo rfkill unblock all
