Bug Description
I am using an up-to-date Jaunty system on an IBM ThinkPad X60s.
When I boot my notebook with wireless turned off (using the killswitch), the wireless cannot be enabled by just turning off the killswitch.
The dmesg output below is from booting system with wireless turned off and then turned on once logged into GNOME:

The problem can be worked around with "rmmod iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945":

This worked fine (ie. without the workaround) with Intrepid and earlier Ubuntu releases.

wich is your kernel version ?
what do you're using as 802.11 norm ? (802.11a ?)
put in an "Add a comment/attachment" link, an attachment like "sudo lshw -C network"
my, i'm using the 802.11a norm
it was in a working order on kernel version 2.6.28-7-generic
but crashed on kernel version 2.6.28-7-generic (led on but not activity and network statut: not associated)
for my configuration details, see my related Bug #332375 reported by me.
