Hi, I have a Thinkpad R60 with the iwl3945 driver running Hardy Heron and when I disable the kill switch I don't get wireless back on, but I can get it back on if i run "ifconfig wlan0 up" manually.
But instead of manually running ifconfig each time, I used acpi events to switch it back on using the howto here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_acpid I created a new file "/etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-iwl3945" and added the following event: event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00007000 action=/etc/acpi/thinkpad-iwl3945.sh and the script "/etc/acpi/thinkpad-iwl3945.sh" has the following: #!/bin/bash /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up and that did it for me, hope that helps :) -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
