"Enable Wireless" is gray on ubuntu 11.10 (Dell Vostro 1520)

[Mark Paskal]

If it doesn't work after a restart of the machine, you should open System
Settings via the cog menu on the top right and select 'Additional Drivers.'
Assuming we have similar dells you should have an option in there for the
broadcom-sta driver, which you can select and click 'Activate.'
