there is often a hardware switch which disables WLAN.

Is it possible that it's been turned off ?

lspci should _absolutely_ show it's existence regardless of whether or not the drivers have been loaded.  Either it's off, if it's a separate card it's come loose/disconnected, or if it's on-board then you probably have a hardware failure.
