Is the wireless device ipw3945? It is.. If so, I have the same issue with Dell Lat D820. No solution yet? Awaiting new ipw3945 src - seems that when the wireless killswitch is enabled the module wont stand up properly.

To see if it this is the problem, try renaming the ipw3945.ko file in /lib/modules/<ver>/updates (or where ever its located on your system) Then reboot. To reboot with the kill switch activated or not?, what would that change?

Rename file and boot with kill switch activated (killed). See if it boots - hence confirming it's the ipw3945 module.

I've done it, it boots normally with the module renamed

I'll send a bug report.

I found: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/63418

But no mention at ipw3945 sourceforge page

Maybe a kernel issue? Apparently only affects 2.6.17-8 and later.

Yes, jumping to the end of the thread they discuss kernel 2.6.20 working. E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
