Hello,

I have a dell e4300 with a wifi 5300 AGN CARD.  After upgrading from Jaunty to 
Karmic Alpha6 my wifi card starts always disabled because although my hardware 
switch is enabled, rfkill does not detect it and it disables the wifi by 
software (if i do a fresh install of Karmic Alpha 6 works !!!). 

I have tested the patched kernel and now the problem with the rfkill is
solved but the interface is not detected as a wireless one:

iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     no wireless extensions.

vboxnet0  no wireless extensions.

pan0      no wireless extensions.

Therefore, there is some cross-relation isssue among your patch and mi
wifi card. I have to go to the original kernel to have wifi support
although i have to enable the wifi manually with rfkill.
