Hello. I decided to go with the nuclear troubleshooting option and reinstalled Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. When I did that the Wifi kill switch started working properly again. This confirmed that it wasn't a hardware problem, which wasn't outside the realm of possibility on this device.
I will reinstall Xubuntu 10.04 and start doing real troubleshooting to figure out what is going on. Once I have a fix I will post and let people know what I did. -----Original Message----- From: clug-talk-boun...@clug.ca [mailto:clug-talk-boun...@clug.ca] On Behalf Of Mark Carlson Sent: May-27-10 9:59 AM To: CLUG General Subject: Re: [clug-talk] Wifi Kill Switches On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 11:15 PM, Craig McLean <craigmcl...@shaw.ca> wrote: > Hello > > > > The Wifi kill switch is accurately named.

Try with an older kernel (assuming one is still hanging around after the upgrade.) -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
