I also have the same problem on a Haier W62-N Notebook with Ubuntu 8.10 and kernel 2.6.27-9-generic.
This notebook always starts up with wireless disabled. After i enable wireless with soft switch nothing happens. I have to type sudo rmmod iwl3945; sudo modprobe iwl3945 in the terminal and then it works fine. If disable the switch i cannot turn it back on again and have unload and reload iwl3945 again. -- iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
