Normally, the wifi kill switch of my Dell D620 is enabled because I don't need wifi often. If the system was booted with an enabled kill switch, then I can't reactive the wireless interface any more. Only a reboot with deactivated kill switch enables the interface again.

This problem didn't occur on gutsy (which the closed source driver).
