BTW, does software-rfkill (using the rfkill command-line utility) work correctly? Specifically, the following scenarios are interesting: -With the hardware-rfkill switch ON (i.e. radio enabled), try to bring down the card using the rfkill utility. Does the card actually stop transmitting? -Try to turn it back on. Is the interface usable again? -Turn the hardware switch OFF, and back ON. Then, use rfkill to soft-disable and re-enable the card. Does this make it work again? -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-)
