DetailsDescription:
My wireless connection works perfectly when the rfkill switch is off, flawlessly. Then I switch the rfkill on, in order to save battery, for example, but whenever I try to switch it off again (so that I can start using the internet again) it seems that it goes unnoticed since the wireless no longer works. Not sure if it's a HAL problem (not catching the event of the rfkill being turned off) or the kernel. Workaround: * Reload the driver by issuing the following commands: "modprobe -r iwl3945" and then "modprobe iwl3945" Additional info: * kernel26 = 2.6.29.3-1 * hal = 0.5.12git20090421.4fc367-2 Steps to reproduce: * Boot the system with rfkil switch off. * Turn the rfkill switch on. * Try to turn it off again, wireless not longer works. dmesg right after turning rfkill on: - iwl3945: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: - Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. - iwl3945: Error sending REPLY_LEDS_CMD: iwl3945_enqueue_hcmd failed: -5 - wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3) - wlan0: deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3) - iwl3945: MAC is in deep sleep! - iwl3945: MAC is in deep sleep! - iwl3945: MAC is in deep sleep! lsmod right after turning rfkill on: - $ lsmod | grep iwl - iwl3945 89164 0 - mac80211 158652 1 iwl3945 - lib80211 5208 1 iwl3945 - cfg80211 36524 2 iwl3945,mac80211 - rfkill 9456 4 iwl3945,dell_laptop - led_class 3416 2 iwl3945,sdhci After turning it off again, I get no change neither in dmesg nor lsmod. |
