But the thing with my laptop is, that there is as far as I know no key for disabling the wireless LAN. It just happened after setting the computer to standby.
Sebastian, does your bios have a way of disabling the wireless? Obviously Windows knows how to activate it so there must be something there. I found on a Toshiba there was a switch which was very small and in an out of the way place. 2 people missed that one! Yes, there is a way to turn the wireless off in the BIOS, but I haven't seen any buttons yet with could turn it off. There are 4 buttons which are under Linux pretty useless and actually I don't know what they are for, but none of them turns off the wireless.
Have you tried using iwconfig? man iwconfig will give you info on txpower. It is a method for enabling and disabling the radio and enabling/disabling the power control if they are available. Yes, I tried iwconfig, but not with txpower and there was no wlan0 device. The only place where I found that my card was still there was under YaST Network Settings, but there it also wasn't able to search for any routers or so.
