I've recreated this using 2.6.27-4-generic on Intrepid Ibex and iwl3945
driver version 1.2.26ks. The workaround mentioned does work for me
though.

** Description changed:
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.

product: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

driver = iwl3945
This problem didn't occur on gutsy (which the closed source driver).
iwl4965 suffers from the same defect.

+ WORKAROUND:
