Your log does not indicate that you pressed the button to turn the
wifi on. All we see is that the hardware switch was off.
Is your radio on/off button one that generates a keycode, or does it
need the WMI magic to be detected? If you are running X, then switch
away by CTRL/ALT/F1 and log in. Use the showkey command and press the
radio on/off switch. If it shows a scan code, report it back here. You
get back to X with CTRL/ALT/F7.
