lsmod

mac80211              269003  2 iwl3945,iwlcore
cfg80211              167809  3 iwl3945,iwlcore,mac80211

This does have the hardware switch.

I resolved the problem by installing backports and Wicd.  Interesing.  
They must have phased out the support for the Intel WIFI I have.

Now to get the cell working.....
