Dell 1390 Wifi

[karishbhr]

I got the Dell 1390 wifi card for my m1210 like everyone suggested, and now I boot up and the airport card bar thing shows up. The problem is it wont let me turn the airport on!

 

Apparently the problem is not uncommon but all solutions I have seen haven't worked.

 

Here is my networkinterfaces.plist because I know that is often the root of the problem:

See anything there that would explain it? Or know another solution? Thanks
