Hi
in order to get the onboard wireless device to work you need to use the ndis 
driver.

Anyway, even so, since 6.0-RC1 if I remember well the LED do not work anymore 
even if the device is working fine. This is unfortunatly not very handy since 
you never know the reason of connection problems. Still worse is that when 
you switch off with the button pressed "off" the device do stay off on next 
boot until you press the button again.
You could check with xev the button number and write a small script to catch 
it that you are getting an advice/popup when you accidently press the button.
On my NB it is
214 WLbutton off
213 WLbutton on
