I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 (dual booted with Windows 7) but I'm unable to access Internet wireless even though I can do so on Windows 7.
The output for rfkill list all is given below:

Broadcom STA wireless driver is installed, activated, and currently
in use.
My laptop is a HP-Pavilion-g6-1004tx.
My hardware switch is on.
Enable Wireless option is also disabled in network settings.
