If you can't actually turn ON your wifi adapter, then there's no way it's ever going to work, regardless of OS.

Just to be sure, I’d suggest booting up a live linux CD (or USB flash drive), perhaps Ubuntu, and see if things improve.

But if the hardware has failed, you can always buy a cheap wireless adapter, probably one of those nano sized ones. They can be had pretty cheap, esp. when on sale.
