Hey, A quick summary of the problem: Alan is using '02:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)' with ipw2200 driver and correctly loaded non-free firmware blob 'ipw2200-bss.fw'. After he disables the wifi radio via hardware button or via network manager he is unable to re-enable it. The only way to fix it is to reset BIOS settings to default configuration (after such a reset wifi is automatically back on). Rfkill is also unable to re-enable wifi but after using 'unblock' option and resetting BIOS the wifi is still disabled (but can be re-enabled by normal means - once). The only suspicious dmesg message is 'ipw2200: Failed to send CARD_DISABLE: Command timed out.' All logs are available in older messages attached to #756947. Regards and thanks, T.
