Hi Martin,

I have been running the kernel 2.6.27-8-generic for a few days now, and
so far my WLAN connection hasn't dropped out, nor has the kernel itself
shown any problems. I have tried this both when the kill switch was off
during startup and also when it was switched too the off state after the
laptop had already been running.

The only thing that doesn't work is the automatic detection of networks
after changing the kill switch.  Network manager says something like
"WLAN networks disabled" ("Funknetzwerke sind deaktiviert" in
German...), which is also grayed out, and running "sudo iwlist scan"
results in

  lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

  eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

  irda0     Interface doesn't support scanning.

  wmaster0  Interface doesn't support scanning.

  wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down

  pan0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

Running

  sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 
  sudo modprobe iwl3945

actually starts a scan and connects me to known WLAN networks.

Thanks for working on this bug, and please tell me if you need further
informations.

Martin
