How can I enable this?

Once I installed "http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.24.2.12.tgz", which contained 'iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode' but it didn't work so that I uninstalled it.

There is no working policykit gui. - A prompt appears every time when mounting a disk or shutting down.( this is what , caused a down for Vista). There can be a way to change this by editing some file , but is not good for newbies.

The bluetooth is automatically turned on when booting. This is not much a problem but annoying.

After frugal install , the System logs into the Live section user , even if a new user modifies auto login to point other users .

The Fast User Switch Applet of GNOME panel seems inferior . Even the appearance cant be changed only the user name can be shown . The Real name display was better.

No GUI to customize the ugly (for most people) GDM screen.

I am using Acer Aspire 4720z. It has an orange blinking led for wlan. Doesn't worsk from a normal user account . , but when launched nautilus with gksudo , the light blinks – odd behavior

There may be lot more but,
Enough for 5 minutes.

Do you need SETUP / INSTALLERS for LINUX (as WINDOWS OR MACINTOSH WAY)?

WINDOWS OR MACINTOSH WAY:
I mean, things like this:
http://linuxgazette.net/101/sunil.html
An installer, Asking you questions, what you need to install, configure, ... install your hardware, get the drivers, and compile it for you.
Step after step, the INSTALLERS guides you, and ask you questions and configure and do the job for you: here example of dialog boxes

Or

Classic LINUX WAY:
you rather like : this like this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer
step by step, with this : nano editor

What do you need, where is your dream about regarding this topic?
If you know, how to improve, how to make it feasible?

im using ubuntu 9.10 (the one with the koala)on my samsung q310 and i seem to have a problem with either my wirless driver or my keyboard
in vista u got to hit Fn+F9 to enable wireless theres no wireless switch anywhere else but when i do this in ubuntu nothing happens and i tried to enable wireless manually from the network icon on the pannel but i cant do that either it wont click the "wireless is disabled" text is not in bold like the others

and clicking does nothing in older versions of ubuntu it was bold and i could enable wireless using that so its either a problem with the wirless driver or the key mappings

is there any way to know if im using the right drivers or a command to enable wireless using the terminal??
editting the key combinations could work too i guess but i dont know how to do that and by the way the Fn key works for other stuff like when i hit Fn + -> it changes the volume

thank u for reading this and heres ur funny video :D
