Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
On my Dell Vostro 1320 laptop with Intel 5100 wireless using the iwlagn driver, nm-applet reports wireless is disabled when the switch is in the on-position. The switch toggles both wlan and bluetooth and when using network-manager it stays off even if the bluetooth light is on, whereas in wicd both lights go on and off at the same time. There is nothing in dmesg about the switch, and wicd works. It was working 10 days ago at -6 kernel so I think this is a regression from recent changes.

I have the same bug on a Intel 4965 wireless card.
I can't connect to wifi with kernel 2.6.31-10 on karmic.
But, if i boot on karmic with the kernel 2.6.28-15 from jaunty the wireless work very well.
