Wireless not working in Lubuntu 12.10 : Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI

[leszek.lesner at web.de]

Hardblocking means that the hardware is blocked by hardware and not software. So you can't unblock it with software. 
But you could try 
sudo rfkill unblock all 
Please also consult the manpage of rfkill for further suggestions.

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

jockey-gtk will be harder, this machine is having problems with X. [2]
Is there a way to load the hardware drivers using regular shell utilities?
