** Description changed: 1) I have working WiFi with Ubuntu 11.10. The default installation. The hardware configuration is Sony Vaio notebook (model VGN-FZ31SR) with Intel 3945ABG WiFi adapter on board. 2) I have _VERY_ strange problem when I'm booting from USB-flash drive (Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit desktop edition). First of all the WiFi is not working and the output of "dmesg | grep iwl" command is: [ 67.309020] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, in-tree:s [ 67.309024] iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation [ 67.309092] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 67.309105] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 67.309125] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 67.314276] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.

I can restart the laptop any number of times and WiFi is not working. The output of "dmesg" is very similar: [ 14.041145] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, in-tree:s [ 14.041149] iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation [ 14.041212] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 14.041226] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 14.041247] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 14.044010] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.

I want to admit that BIOS settings are all default and visually nothing changes. After that I can run Ubuntu 11.10. Here is the output of "dmesg" [ 13.703718] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, in-tree:s [ 13.703722] iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation [ 13.703829] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 13.703844] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 13.758904] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 23 802.11a channels [ 13.758908] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 3945ABG [ 13.759062] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: irq 47 for MSI/MSI-X [ 13.762917] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs' [ 15.229584] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: loaded firmware version 15.32.2.9 The problem is 100% reproducible.
