Comment 12 for bug 430809

Hello,

I have a dell e4300 with a wifi 5300 AGN CARD. After upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic Alpha6 my wifi card starts always disabled because although my hardware switch is enabled, rfkill does not detect it and it disables the wifi by software (if i do a fresh install of Karmic Alpha 6 works !!!).

I have tested the patched kernel and now the problem with the rfkill is solved but the interface is not detected as a wireless one:

iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 no wireless extensions.

vboxnet0 no wireless extensions.

pan0 no wireless extensions.

Therefore, there is some cross-relation isssue among your patch and mi wifi card. I have to go to the original kernel to have wifi support although i have to enable the wifi manually with rfkill.
