Bug#482337: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64: rfkill switch doesn't work with iwl4965 driver
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.24-6
Severity: important
The rfkill switch doesn't work, so I can't use my iwl4965 card. It's
strange because my Debian system doesn't work also with a custom Vanilla kernel (2.6.25-4) that
I've prevously used on Etch (while now I've installed Lenny from
scratch) and that did work on that system. And this kernel worked also
after a migration of the Etch machine to Lenny (updating the sources.list for the migration), so it seems
not to be stricly related to the Kernel (it worked for me).
I've tried using different versions of firmware (the one included in the
"non-free" branch and all others downloaded from Intel web site), but
nothing happened.
I'm using successfully this card with other Distros (kernel 2.6.24)
This is my lsmod:

And...
cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/rf_kill
2
So it is disabled. Note that the switch is phisically at the "RFKILL
OFF" position.
Thank you
