version 1.1.3 of ipw3945 was uploaded to unstable in the last days, if
you're 'still' using the old one, please upgrade and try again. if not,
are you using 2.6.18 or someting newer?
indepentent of that, the solved softlock thing was not kill-switch
related but to newer kernel versions than 2.6.18.
with a previous version of the regulatory daemon end of the summer, i
had some similar issues as you described them with the kill switch too
on my x60. additionally, when switching the kill-switch rapidly on and
off while doing a network restart, the whole machine occasionally
freezed. both phenomenons are, funnily, no longer occuring with ipw3945d
of current sid.
