At kernel.org it says:

Wireless drivers are just one component of the software stack necessary for wireless devices to function. There are also userspace components, namely NetworkManager, wpa_supplicant, wireless-tools, wireless-regdb, CRDA, iw and possibly many more (as always, there are lots of options to choose from).

I'm not sure where the bug lies. All I know is that Window 7 doesn't complain about the "wi-fi is disabled by hardware switch"; it connects to wi-fi upon login.

Am I correct in determing that this is the offical page of the driver itself? :
