Hi there! |

Sorry Alejandro, but that link didn't help very much... |

|

iwconfig shows: |
| 6 |
|

'dmesg' shows the following: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
iwlagn 0000:14:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 |
| 20 |

--> again, this rfkill-issue. The switch is in "on" position, the LED in the |
| 31 |
display shows "active", but the driver thinks its off :-( |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Try to enable it manually: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
iwconfig wlan0 txpower on |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
iwconfig wlan0 |
| 38 |
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"" |
| 39 |
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated |
| 40 |
Tx-Power=-1 dBm |
| 41 |

| 46 |

| 47 |
|

OK, looks better (At least we have TX-power now), lets try to scan the |
| 49 |
area ... |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
iwlist wlan0 scan |
| 52 |
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
And now ??? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Thanks for suggestions |
