I should add that I have just tested kernel 3.2.14-030214-generic-pae and whilst the problem remained, typing into the CLI:
modprobe iwl3945 Seemed to get my wireless working again from the desktop with no need for a restart. After that I tried again in kernel 3.2.0-24.39 and the switch works again there too now without any input from me. I booted up and into the desktop with the switch in the off position and when I turned it on, it automatically connected to a wireless network. I don't know whether that is to do with modprobe, or whether there has been an update or what, but the problem, for me at least, seems to be resolved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995992 Title: Wireless not working properly on my Dell Inspiron 1525 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/995992/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
