When i choose left click on network manager it appears the auto-eth0 conection which is with cable, then it says disconect option, and the next and last option is VPN. When i put right click it shows wireless disabled. Do i need VPN conection or the wireless is not working good? It should show me the networks for conection, but i don't see them. Thanks for the fast answer...

The following output shows that your wireless is disabled by a hardware killswitch:

  *-network DISABLED
       description: Wireless interface
       product: BCM4312 802.11b/g

0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: yes

Press the switch on one side of your laptop to turn ON wifi and bluetooth.

yes of course, and you can 'open' it automatically (etho and eth 1) only because it exist an option 'auto-configure' so when you put a cable : it must be connected immediately and when you put your private code and password in wi-fi; it must be automatically accepted.

sometimes it needs a restart, and i add it is working on fine with firefox.
good luck !
