[Bug 193970] Re: iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch

[taj]

Same here. I once pushed the kill switch and cannot connect via wireless
at all anymore, not even after a reboot. I would say that this bug
deserves more than medium status, because it keeps on blocking wireless
network connection.

output /var/log/messages when I switch the Radio Frequency Kill Switch on (i.e. radio connection and blue lamp go off)

... and off (blue lamp goes on)
