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_update/ 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.
