Subject: [gentoo-user] iwlwifi - problem with wireless radio being killed

1 I have a Sony Vaio laptop with a 4965AGN. I'd been using the iwlwifi
2 package with a 2.6.23 kernel. I just moved to
3 tuxonice-sources-2.6.24-r4, so I'm now using the iwlwifi driver that's
4 included with the kernel.

6 Now if I need to restart the wireless interface
7 (using /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart), it goes down fine but fails to
8 come back up. I get this error:
9
10 * Wireless radio has been killed for interface
11
12 I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. FWIW, here's how the
13 kernel is configured:
14
15 ~ $ zgrep -i mac80211 /proc/config.gz
16 CONFIG_MAC80211=m
17 CONFIG_MAC80211_RCSIMPLE=y
18 # CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG is not set
19
20 zgrep -i iwl /proc/config.gz
21 CONFIG_IWLWIFI=y
22 CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG=y
23 CONFIG_IWLWIFI_SENSITIVITY=y
24 CONFIG_IWLWIFI_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT=y
25 CONFIG_IWLWIFI_QOS=y
26 CONFIG_IWL4965=m
27 # CONFIG_IWL3945 is not set
