Slider to connect wifi returning

[CJNetrider]

Hi, apologies in advance for any previous cover. I have searched a lot but cannot find a solution to my predicament. Fairly new to the world of Linux so if anyone can help please detail any requests for info so I can respond as best as possible. I've installed Linux Mint on a Leveno T60p and for the life of me can't get any wifi connections. Tried pulling across the wifi slider to "on", but t goes straight back to "off" again.

Terminal commande inxi -Nn says
Network: Card-1: Intel 82573L Gigabit Thernet Controller driver: 1000e
if: ENP2S0 STATE: DOWN MAC: 00:1641:58:04-4C
Card-2 Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection
driver: iw13945
if: wlp3s0 state: down mac: 00:1302:4e:37:51
ThinkPad-T60p ~$

I've fully updated last night to no avail.
Any help greatly appreciated

Have you tried the switch next to the audio ports on the front of the laptop

Arghh, something so simple but totally overlooked being out of sight. Jeremy, you're a legend. All showing/connecting. Thank you!!
