Bug Description
On my Dell Vostro 1500 running Kubuntu Jaunty x64, the wireless network connection is not properly re-connected if the hardware WLAN switch is turned off and turned back on. Knetworkmanager says that the adapter is disabled, and restarting knetworkmanager does not fix the problem. Rebooting the PC is the only way to make it work again. It is also worth noting the Bluetooth is properly disabled and re-enabled by the switch.

I just discovered that "modprobe -r iwl3945" and then "modprobe iwl3945" causes the wireless adapter to work again.
