Hi I have recently updated to amd64 Hardy 8.04 from 7.10 and started noticing that my dmesg is full of warnings and errors related to iwl4965 module. I've installed the latest updates and linux-backports-modules- hardy-generic package.
The errors happen every time i use the Fn+F5 switch on my Thinkpad T61p laptop. As i remember, Fn+F5 didn't work at all on Gutsy, however, in Hardy it seems to partially work. By partially I mean the following: when I turn on the laptop, both wi-fi and bluetooth is enabled and leds are on. Pressing Fn+F5 once will switch off the wireless, pressing it again would switch off Bluetooth and once more would try to activate the wireless again. The dmesg errors start happening when I try to switch on wireless.
