Looks like the wireless config scripts in your distro did something
(probably txpower off) to disable the SW radio. Can you try the
following commands after wlan0 restart?

$ cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl4965/0000\:04\:00.0/rfkill\:rfkill1/state
$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl4965/0000\:04\:00.0/rfkill
\:rfkill1/state
$ ifconfig wlan0 up

Thanks,
