I've got the same behaviour on a HP Compaq nc6400 with its iwl3945. All worked well on Natty. I can actually switch back the wifi by suspending and resuming the laptop. For other reasons, I tried the Natty kernel 2.6.38, and it has the same behaviour that latest 3.0.0-13. I guess it's not coming directly from the kernel.
I've observed kernel.log and noticed that the wifi shuts down correctly, but nothing happens in the log when I switch it back. (It actually worked once, however it is not reproducible).
