Hi ubacc2009,

Indeed it looks like the kill switch is enabled based on:

[ 14.789011] iwlagn: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch

and

~$ cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwlagn/0000\:03\:00.0/rfkill/rfkill0/state
2

Can you try to toggle the state directly to see if it helps? You may have to become the root user first:

echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwlagn/0000\:03\:00.0/rfkill/rfkill0/state

You may also want to try installing the linux-backports-modules-jaunty package to see if it might help as well. It contains an updated compat-wireless stack. Please let us know if either of these help. Thanks.
