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

[Pihhan]

Yes, it seems newer driver does work different way. In 2.6.24-16-generic
kernel i have iwl4965 driver 1.2.0, which work it seems same way as in
gutsy. On wifi off, nm gets information and remove device. On activation
it does not need acpi event to reactivate, and it goes up itself.
Ifconfig still report it as UP, even when rf_kill switch is on (value 2
in /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rf_kill).

In 2.6.25 it does deactivate device on kill switch on, and even disable
interrupt for wifi card. Card is down even after wifi is enabled by kill
switch, you need to wake it up again. I have iwlwifi driver 1.2.23kds
there, i think it is new behaviour of that driver. So yes, that might be
propably because of newer kernel.
