I'm on Ubuntu Desktop AMD64 Precise Beta2

Physical WiFi ON/OFF Switch Off and ON:

I use compiled RT3090 driver from Ralink for WiFi to work at full speed.
Except that the .deb packaged driver from Markus Heberling on Launchpad (rt3090-dkms_2.3.1.3-0ubuntu0~ppa1_all.deb) does not seem to work anymore, I have had no problems with WiFi after upgrading to Precise Beta2. (lots of other problems, like no suspend and can't shut down).

Are there two different Hardware revisions of the Ideapad s205 ?
I have:
Bios Version 4BCN24WW
KBC Version 4BEC20WW (What is that?)
