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. Hardware: Laptop, Acer TravelMate 6292 (Intel 4965AGN) Software: Ubuntu 8.1.0 uname -a: Linux hubert-laptop 2.6.27-10-generic #1 SMP Fri Nov 21 12:00:22 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux I'm willing to provide as much information as I can. 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.
