Sorry guys, but I seem to be having this exact problem in the released Karmic.
Dell vostro 1520. Starting with hw switch off works fine. Exactly same crash of smbios-wireless-ctl as in comment #56 ( posted as Bug #464449 ) Perhaps just need to blacklist vostro 1520 ? Haven't looked into how that works yet. -- [Dell Latitude D430, iwl3945] Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430809 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
