Bug Description
As of 2.6.27 in intrepid, the iwl3945 and iwl4965 drivers no longer provide /sys/class/
$ ls -ld /sys/class/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-09-08 11:29 /sys/class/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-09-08 11:29 /sys/class/
$
This is with iwl3945 on my system; mdz has confirmed equivalent behavior with iwl4965.
The device/rf_kill interface is the one that acpi-support relies on in order to toggle the antenna state via the soft switch, so I think this is fairly important to resolve for intrepid. If this interface is deprecated for 2.6.27, please reassign to acpi-support and let us know what interface should be used instead for toggling the antenna in software.
