Comment 98 for bug 193970

Hello. I can confirm this and reproduce it anytime.

Scenario:
1. Wireless is working
2. Disable via NetworkManager
3. Wireless is off
4. Enable via NetworkManager
5. Wireless is working
6. Press killswitch
7. NetworkManager takes a while to realize that wireless is supposed to be off
8. cat /sys/bus/ returns 2
9. Press killswitch (now it's 1)
10. Wireless does not come back on
11. Press killswitch again to make it 2.
12. Reboot or sudo modprobe -r iwlagn; sudo modprobe iwlagn
13. Wireless doesn't work
14. Press killswitch to make it 1.
15. Reboot or sudo modprobe -r iwlagn; sudo modprobe iwlagn
16. Wireless works.

So it seems that
1. The killswitch DOES toggle the state properly (1/2)
2. NetworkManager seems to work
3. modprobe iwlagn when killswitch state is 2 (WLAN Disabled) fails
4. modprobe iwlagn when killswitch state is 1 (WLAN Enabled) succeeds
5. after modprobe iwlagn when kilswitch state is 2 (WLAN Disabled), switching the killswitch back to WLAN Enabled does not allow WLAN to work again.

Hardware:
Laptop, Acer TravelMate 6292 (Intel 4965AGN)

Software:
Ubuntu 8.1.0

uname -a:
Linux hubert-laptop 2.6.27-10-generic #1 SMP Fri Nov 21 12:00:22 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

I'm willing to provide as much information as I can. Hope this gets fixed ASAP. At least now I have a workaround to make it work, but it's quite bothersome to keep having to do it.

Thanks,
Hubert
