Actually it is not a problem with the BIOS, you can enable the wireless card with Linux even without an updated BIOS.

As pointed out in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2639 you can force the rf_kill to 0 using the (now unmaintained) acerhk module. Once the ipw3945 module will have the necessary pieces of code integrated from the acerhk module, it will work out of the box.

I'll attach the logs soon.
