Wireless stopped working. Mint 13 mate

[jcg624]

Wireless stopped working. Mint 13 mate.
The wireless suddenly stopped worked on my wifes netbook. Enable wireless is grayed out and I am unable to turn it back on. There is no physical on/off switch for the wireless. The fn+f2 does not have an effect.
She has never done the updates. I currently have it connected hard wire to do the updates. Linux Mint 13 mate edition 32 bit.
is on the netbook.

The Soft Block And Hard Block both say yes How do I get those turned off?

I would appreciate any help.
