Seems I have pretty much the same problem as inflamestory. I don't have the computer in question near by, so I'll have to add information later. I had an intrepid RC installed earlier and also got the "Radio disabled by hw kill switch". All the modules are loaded and all seems fine though. Then I lost patience and installed Mandriva 2009 B2 and there the WLAN worked great without having to do anything.
Now to the weird part; I downloaded Kubuntu 8.10 Beta and booted it in Live mode, and found out the WLAN worked great. I then installed Kubuntu on harddrive, and found that the problem came back. Seems weird it works in Live mode, but not when it's installed. Well, can add the dmesg.log and more info about the system and kernel version later. -- wireless network does not work on Sony VAIO SR19VN [Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256629 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
