intel wirelles 4965 not works under kernel 3.0.4

Hi,
after upgrading kernel  from 2.6 series to 3.x series I have problems with the Intel 4965 AGN wifi.  After boot the card is working for approx. 2 seconds. After this time the wifi stops and  following lines appear in the dmesg log:

[   34.107601] iwl4965 0000:10:00.0: RF_KILL bit toggled to enable radio.
[   34.108737] iwl4965 0000:10:00.0: RF_KILL bit toggled to disable radio.

That looks like a problem.  Also, try to use the code tags for output.  It will make things a lot cleaner to look at.
