[Bug 367902] New: Change of IWL 4965 radio killswitch status is not recognized
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=367902 Summary: Change of IWL 4965 radio killswitch status is not recognized Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: hschaa@novell.com ReportedBy: suse@bugs.jan.ritzerfeld.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=199272) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=199272) Log of NN I am using iwlwifi-kmp-default-1.2.24_2.6.22.17_0.1-26.1 of http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_10.3_upd... because of Bug 350601. So, at 18:34, I booted with the radio killswitch turned on, that is, the wireless network is disabled. Everything works fine and the wired network is used. At 20:08, I tried to switch to wireless LAN by re-enabling it via the radio killswitch (that is, turning the latter off) and then disconnecting the wired LAN. However, NN or HAL insisted in the killswitch being in its old position, thus, overriding my request to enable the wireless network. I will attach the log of the situationd described above. This also happens when I boot with the radio killswitch turned off and than enable it, thus, disabling the wireless network. NN or HAL do indeed notice that I disabled the network via the radio killswitch, hence, deactivating wlan0. But they do not get it, when I re-enable the killswitch again. There are simply no entries in the log, so I cannot attach it. In both situations, re-starting NN does not help. Before and after the re-start, wlan0 is down: karl:~ # iwlist wlan0 scanning wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down "rmmod iwl4965" and then "modprobe iwl4965" re-enables the wireless network again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please try if it is sufficient to run "ifconfig wlan0 up" instead of rmmod and modprobe. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The correct state of the killswitch is then detected and NN automatically re-connects via the wireless network. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
