Where to find wireless switch to reinstall after new HDD

I have a Vaio VPCY11ME. The HDD failed just after its first birthday (i.e. just out of warranty - not very impressed by that). I got a new HDD, reinstalled Windows 7 (and Ubuntu) and things are working but I don't have any of the original Vaio software.

Some of the Vaio software I found on the Sony Support site (under the "stuff that's already installed on your machine" section), but I can't find everything I need. The main missing thing is the Wireless Switch, which I need to turn off wifi and bluetooth easily when I want to.

I would also like to get the Vaio Control Centre back, I found an update which did install but I doesn't give me any menus, just basic system information.

I emailed the Support site after the HDD failed to get Windows discs but got no reply (I downloaded an ISO instead). I just entered my serial number and the site tells me the machine is out of Warranty and won't let me email now.

Any ideas where I can get this software?

Thanks in advance.

VAIO Smart Network? You have also VAIO Care? By VAIO Care is possible to recovery driver, utility and software for your PC.

By VAIO Care is also possible to know the name and Serial of VAIO.
