Might be a long shot, but ensure that the wireless is still turned on
when you shut down Win7.

On my HP G60 laptop, it I turn off wireless (via the laptop wireless
button) and then shut down Win7 HE & reboot into Ubuntu (10.10) the
wireless does not start - at least not automatically & I cannot enable
via Network Manager. However, if I reboot back to Win7, turn on
wireless, then shutdown Win7 & reboot back to Ubuntu 10.10 wireless is
fine. Ran across this when my wife (who is the one that uses Win7 for
her work) accidentally pushed the wifi button to off when she intended
to push the power off button (both buttons are side-by-side on the
machine). I've not bothered to dig deeper into the why, but suspect that
someone has filed a bug regarding this on launchpad.
