Re: iwl4965 and rf_kill switch [was: Re: 2.6.24-rc7 experimental upload]
With the most recent 2.6.24-rc8 wireless is turned on by default. The rf_kill switch is still not togglable (is that english?), but at least wireless works. -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Dear Maximilian, thanks for the answer. I have managed to apply the second patch on the bugzilla report, but it does not work. I'll report back to the iwlwifi bugzilla. currently it looks more like a gob it all or not approach http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/kernel/devel/linux-2.6- wireless-pending.patch?view=markup quite unsure to advocate aboves huge patch at that point for etch kernel also. so currently prefering to stay on mainline with it. I understand your point of view :) I'll try and get hold of Fedora sources and see if I can work something out. Currently I have a perfectly functioning 2.6.22, so I am not left in the cold and I can experiment freely. Again thanks for your work! -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Dear Maximilian, I was just downloading from kernel.org when I read your announcement. Thanks for sparing me a kernel compile :) This 2.6.24-rc7 seems to work just fine but I have an issue with the iwl4965 module. I'll describe my problem here, but if this is not the appropriate place please excuse me and kick me in the right direction. So, when I boot 2.6.24-rc7 on my intel-based laptop the wireless card gets correctly recognized and the iwl4965 module is loaded. The wlan0 interface is created BUT the software rf_kill switch is ON, preventing the card to work. So I check: vasquez:~# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/\:03\:00.0/rf_kill 2 Ok, makes sense. Let's disable the switch: vasquez:~# echo 0 /sys/bus/pci/devices/\:03\:00.0/rf_kill vasquez:~# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/\:03\:00.0/rf_kill 2 Nothing happened! Let's try with brute force: vasquez:~# rmmod iwl4965 vasquez:~# modprobe iwl4965 vasquez:~# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/\:03\:00.0/rf_kill 0 Ha! Bingo! But: vasquez:~# ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found and /var/log/messages on modprobing iwl4965 says: Jan 11 23:39:24 vasquez kernel: iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.1.17ks Jan 11 23:39:24 vasquez kernel: iwl4965: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation Jan 11 23:39:24 vasquez kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :03:00.0[A] - GSI 18 (level, low) - IRQ 18 Jan 11 23:39:24 vasquez kernel: iwl4965: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN Jan 11 23:39:24 vasquez kernel: iwl4965: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch Any advice on how to make this work? Maybe a patch that forces the driver to start with the killswitch OFF? The iwlwifi bugzilla does not seem to help on the issue. Thanks for any help you can give me, and for the great work! -- Best Regards, Jack Linux user #264449 Powered by Debian Sid AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
