I believe I have the current driver, but the kill switch is set to ON

How can I disable this? The switch works to turn the light on/off (HP6120) however it doesn't appear to chance anything in the OS. The card is enabled in the bios.

This is over my head, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The irony is I have an old Microsoft 11B card works just fine. I wanted the faster speed with the G device.
