1 Hi,
2
3 I've used wireless network about half of a year ago. Now I need it and it
4 doesn't start :-( My gentoo is up to date.
5
6 I'm using network manager (and it's nm-applet).
7
8 Wireless info:
9 description: Wireless interface
10 product: WiFi Link 6000 Series
11 vendor: Intel Corporation
12 capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
13 configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlagn driverversion=3.0.6-tuxonice
14 firmware=9.221.4.1 build 25532 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE
15 802.11abgn
16
17 After switching on, the dmesg says:
18 iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: RF_KILL bit toggled to enable radio.
19 usb 2-1.7: new full speed USB device number 78 using ehci_hcd
20
21 but wireless control doesn't indicate that it's on and nm-applies says the
22 wireless is disabled by hw switch.
23
24 It worked on tuxonice-sources-2.6.38-r1 but now it doesn't work on it too :-(
25 Current kernel is tuxonice-sources-3.0.6 (planing upgrade to 3.0.17, but only
26 with wireless :-) ).
27
28 Please, could someone help me? I have no idea where to start :-\

30 Thanks
