[Bug 193970] Re: iwl3945: Wireless can't be activated if kill switch was on at boot

[Christian Schuerer]

I did some further testing to find out why it worked for me yesterday.

I could find out that wireless will work if you just restart hal (sudo
/etc/init.d/hal restart) after you've disabled the kill switch. You can
enable/disable the kill switch then without restarting hal every time. I
didn't check if it would be enough to restart hal right after booting
(without disabling the kill switch first), but I will try this later.

If a restart of hal solves this problem, then I think hal is started to
early - or hal is missing some initialisation for the wireless network.
I will assign hal to this bug to clarify this issue.
