This bug is still present on Karmic alpha 6 on my Sony Vaio SZ650 (Intel 4965 / iwlagn). If I shut down (or suspend, I think) with an enabled killswitch, then boot (or resume), I cannot get my wifi to work until I reboot with the killswitch disabled. The killswitch works properly if I use it within a session.

[Bug 193970] Re: iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch
Adding to the data for this bug. It still shows up on Hardy 8.04 kernel: 2.6.24-24-generic fully patched. on a Compaq 8710p laptop with iwl4965 I _don't_ have the backport package installed. dpkg --list | grep backport yields nothing. Symptoms and description are as others have reported. The hard switch on this laptop is along a touch-bar above the function keys. In Windows XP, it lights up when on, and goes out when off, and correctly toggles the wifi/bluetooth. In Ubuntu, once wifi is turned off via the switch, nothing seems to wake the wifi back up. Even after a reboot, the wifi antenna remains offline. /var/log/messages just shows: Jun 28 18:02:47 laptop kernel: [ 136.685170] iwl4965: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: Jun 28 18:02:47 laptop kernel: [ 136.685173] Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. but pushing the touch bar switch doesn't help without the modprobe fix described. I've been able to boot into XP (as a previous poster described) and use the HP wireless assistant pop-up to fix it, and after finding this thread, I have a work-around in ubuntu: hit the wireless button, then do sudo modprobe -r iwl4965 sudo modprobe iwl4965 But it would be nice to have this fix propagated to Hardy 8.04. I'd rather not have to upgrade distros just to get this fix. Any chance this can get into the next release for Hardy, or if someone could point me to a patch I could manually apply just for this? Reading through the comments above, I'm not entirely clear that I understand the root cause of the problem, or the nature of the fix in Jaunty. There is some mention of hal as well as a few other components. A clear pointer to the problem and the fix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and please let me know if there is other information I can provide about my hardware that would be of use. -- iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is not fixed in Jaunty final, at least not for XPS M1330. After having the killswitch enabled (wifi disabled) when waking up from resume, I need to right-click network manager, deactive wireless, then activate it again. Only then the wireless LED lights up again and wireless networks are found. At times when doing this, kernel panic occurs, so I am not to fond of the workaround... This is the same behavior that existed in Intrepid before the SRU that fixed in in the .27 kernel. This is a regression in other words. @Matteo: Try right clicking as I described, it should work and is more convenient than rmmod. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jaunty) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 193970] Re: iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch
** Description changed: Normally, the wifi kill switch of my Dell D620 is enabled because I don't need wifi often. If the system was booted with an enabled kill switch, then I can't reactive the wireless interface any more. Only a reboot with deactivated kill switch enables the interface again. description: Wireless interface product: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection vendor: Intel Corporation driver = iwl3945 This problem didn't occur on gutsy (which the closed source driver). iwl4965 suffers from the same defect. WORKAROUND 1: When killswitch is enabled (wifi off) nm-applet will disable the [] enable wireless menu entry. After turning killswitch off (wifi on), the wifi status led is still off, and no access points are shown in network manager. Right-clicking on nm-applet, you should see that the [x] enable wireless menu entry is now activated. Disable it and then enable it again.

We have been able to backport the fixes for the iwl4965 and later drivers. There are no fixes in later drivers for the iwl3945 as those have been subsumed into the common intel wireless driver, which brings this fix automatically for those cards, and they should therefore work correctly in Jaunty.

I, myself, can handle this bug with rmmod modprobe workaround, but tell other people :( What's worse, few friends switched back to Windows :( -- iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm quite suprised to see it's not yet solved. Because of this annoying bug I've switched my laptop back to 8.04 one month ago. I guess I'll to wait for 9.04.

I can confirm that this is fixed for me (iwl3945) in jaunty, but not in intrepid. The error seems to lie in userspace, though.

I'm suffering this bug too, here are some information about my case: Hardware : Laptop, Sony Vaio VGN-FE770G Software : Ubuntu 8.10, installed from scracth, updated to now Uname -a: Linux halley 2.6.27-10-generic #1 SMP Fri Nov 21 12:00:22 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Since the arrival of the iwl3945 driver my wireless never worked. Randomly when I boot ( twice, in fact ) it worked well, but if I turned on the killswitch during this grace period, tha magic is gone. None of the workarounds found in the web worked for me. Attached you have the dmesg output from the two moments, the working wireless boot and the non-working. I hope this cuold help you to help me, I don't want to get back to XP just to see my wireless working. best regards Trevor ** Attachment added: mycase.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20321697/mycase.txt -- iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 193970] Re: iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch
I have tried to port the changes to the iwl4965 to the iwl3945 driver. I have built some kernels based on the Intrepid -proposed kernel. If someone who has the iwl3945 hardware could test them. Specifically the booting with the rf kill switch disabled and then see if turning it off then allows the driver to start automatically. These kernels can be found at the following URL: http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp193970/ -- iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 193970] Re: iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch
New to the thread, but I'm having similar issues and tried your kernel build. Didn't seem to help. My particular oddity is that once I enable the killswitch (turn off wireless), I can't turn it back on again. I'll admit that I'm having trouble nailing down exactly the steps to reenable it, but a reboot followed by a couple of kills and restarts of NetworkManager seems to do it. Anything else I can try for you, just let me know.

[Bug 193970] Re: iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch
Hello. I can confirm this and reproduce it anytime. Scenario: 1. Wireless is working 2. Disable via NetworkManager 3. Wireless is off 4. Enable via NetworkManager 5. Wireless is working 6. Press killswitch 7. NetworkManager takes a while to realize that wireless is supposed to be off 8. cat /sys/bus/ returns 2 9. Press killswitch (now it's 1) 10. Wireless does not come back on 11. Press killswitch again to make it 2. 12. Reboot or sudo modprobe -r iwlagn; sudo modprobe iwlagn 13. Wireless doesn't work 14. Press killswitch to make it 1. 15. Reboot or sudo modprobe -r iwlagn; sudo modprobe iwlagn 16. Wireless works. So it seems that 1. The killswitch DOES toggle the state properly (1/2) 2. NetworkManager seems to work 3. modprobe iwlagn when killswitch state is 2 (WLAN Disabled) fails 4. modprobe iwlagn when killswitch state is 1 (WLAN Enabled) succeeds 5. after modprobe iwlagn when kilswitch state is 2 (WLAN Disabled), switching the killswitch back to WLAN Enabled does not allow WLAN to work again.

Hope this gets fixed ASAP. At least now I have a workaround to make it work, but it's quite bothersome to keep having to do it.

If the driver is loaded when the switch is off then further on/off operations are successful. Correct. Actually, even if i booted with switch disabled, and i have wlan in working mode, if i press killswitch key - wlan will be disabled, but i can't turn it on again.
