I either have the same or a very similar problem. I have a Dell Inspiron
E1505 with integrated Intel Wireless.  Laptop worked perfectly in Gutsy.
In Hardy the "wifi light" never turns on or flashes, and I believe
network manager won't bring the interface up because it can't detect its
status.  If I run 'sudo ifdown eth1 ; sudo ifup eth1' then it will work
correctly but the light still never turns on or blinks (this part is not
as much of an issue for me).  I have included what I believe to be
relevant log excerpts.  And on a side note module iwlwifi_mac80211 is
loaded, yet this is not a Mac.  BTW, all this is evident off the boot CD
also.  And on my setup wlan0 gets renamed to eth1 on startup.


Modules loaded:
iwl3945                89844  0 
iwlwifi_mac80211      219108  1 iwl3945
cfg80211               15112  1 iwlwifi_mac80211
