Bug description:
  === RELEASE NOTES ===
  Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M 7400 and Maxdata 7000DX wireless RF kill handling triggers a kernel panic preventing wireless from operating correctly.  This may be worked around by editing your kernel command line and adding "noexec=off".  (Bug:979253)
  ===

  Original bug report:
  I used to be able to turn on my Intel wireless adaptor by typing sudo modprobe fsam7400 radio=1 into a terminal, but since upgrading my operating system to Ubuntu 12.04 this no longer works.

  If you could send me a new code, preferably one that could turn
  wireless on permanantly, I would be very grateful.

  Release Notes:
  The fsam7400 driver directly invokes BIOS code to turn on/off the RF switch in this platform.  However, the memory pages where this BIOS code is mapped is marked as non-executable and this is what causes the issue.

  WORK AROUND:
  As a temporary workaround, it is possible to boot the kernel with 'noexec=off' parameters.  Details on how to modify kernel parameters can be obtained in section "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters.
