Wireless iwl4965 under 2.6.31 not working anymore [solved]

Hi everyone,

can't get my wireless working after upgrading to iwl4965 on my T61. rfkill is switched on, bluetooth LED lights up, but neither the wifi LED lights up nor any SSIDs show up in NetworkManager. Any ideas? Am I missed anything?

dmesg

iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27ks

lsmod

pacman -Q | grep ucode

iwlwifi-4965-ucode 228.61.2.24-1

Solved it.
rfkill in /proc interface was the point.

echoing 0 into the specific rfkill did it.

[root@stylidium ~]# cat /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill6/type 
wlan
[root@stylidium ~]# echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill6/state

It works!

# cp  /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-rfkill-switch.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

if i rc.d/hal restart nothing change.
I reboot and it works nice (WHY? reboot? i don't like to)

Why hal messes up rfkill with touchpad options (via hal fdi)? and still to?

EDIT: Sorry! i was on another thread! but this could be useful to you too, i refer to this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 75#p637675
