Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
After the upgrade yesterday (including a kernel upgrade to 2.6.20-13.21) my wirless card stopped working. Sadly enough also on the old kernel (2.6.20-12).
It keeps telling in the demsg:
[ 20.040000] ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.0mp
[ 20.040000] ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
[ 20.040000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
[ 20.040000] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64
[ 20.040000] ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
[ 20.064000] IBM TrackPoint firmware: 0x0e, buttons: 3/3
[ 21.964000] ipw3945: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On:
[ 21.964000] Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work.
Hitting the FN+F5 key changes nothing. Also echo'ing various numbers into rf_kill in sysfs does nothing.
Laptop is an Lenovo X60 Tablet.
