Comment 108 for bug 193970

I also have the same problem on a Haier W62-N Notebook with Ubuntu 8.10 and kernel 2.6.27-9-generic.

This notebook always starts up with wireless disabled.

After i enable wireless with soft switch nothing happens. I have to type sudo rmmod iwl3945; sudo modprobe iwl3945 in the terminal and then it works fine.

If disable the switch i cannot turn it back on again and have unload and reload iwl3945 again.
