Title:
8086:4222 WiFi (Intel 3945ABG) does not work on Sony Vaio (VGN-FZ31SR)
with Ubuntu 12.04
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
1) I have working WiFi with Ubuntu 11.10. The default installation.
The hardware configuration is Sony Vaio notebook (model VGN-FZ31SR)
with Intel 3945ABG WiFi adapter on board.
2) I have _VERY_ strange problem when I'm booting from USB-flash drive
(Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit desktop edition). First of all the WiFi is not
working and the output of "dmesg | grep iwl" command is:

3) When I boot again from hard-drive to old installed Ubuntu 11.10,
the WiFi is not working any more. I can restart the laptop any number
of times and WiFi is not working. The output of "dmesg" is very
similar:

[ 14.174969] iwl3945: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -2
4) The only way to get working WiFi is to go to BIOS and perform "load
default settings". I want to admit that BIOS settings are all default
and visually nothing changes. After that I can run Ubuntu 11.10. Here
is the output of "dmesg"
[ 13.703718] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection
driver for Linux, in-tree:s
[ 13.703722] iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation

[ 13.703844] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 13.758904] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 23
802.11a channels
[ 13.758908] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 3945ABG
[ 13.759062] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: irq 47 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 13.762917] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs'
[ 15.229584] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: loaded firmware version 15.32.2.9
The problem is 100% reproducible. So every time I boot into Ubuntu 12.04, I
got persistently non-working WiFi.
I'm ready to provide any further information, because I want to upgrade to
new Ubuntu version.
