iwl3945 driver loads correctly but the interface doesn't come up
here the error in the dmesg when I run
ifconfig wlan0 up

i can confirm this: on the 8086:4222, with 2.6.27-7 (but the problem exists since hardy), if the machine is turned on with the rf kill switch on, and then i turn off the rf kill switch later, i have to run "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" for the interface to come up
