Same bug affects my laptop, which has intel 3945 wireless card. The hard killswitch can only turn the wireless off, not on.
One workaround that works for me is to reload the driver with the killswitch off (light comes on): sudo rmmod iwl3945 sudo modprobe iwl3945 -- [Intrepid] Radio killswitch off-event isn't recognized on Thinkpad T61p https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289286 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
