Hi,
(please cc me on replies)

before I start to try and figure this out, I thought of asking here if it rings any bells...

Distribution: Mandriva Cooker
Arch: x86_64.

NIC: 04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection [8086:4229] (rev 61)

ucode version: 228.61.2.24

wpa_supplicant version: 0.6.9
crda version: 1.1.0
wireless-regdb version: 2009.04.17

Running a 2.6.29.6 based kernel works with iwlagn
Running a 2.6.30.1 based kernel works with iwlagn

Running a 2.6.31-rc3 based kernel gets me this:

--- cut ---
Bringing up interface wlan0:  RTNETLINK answers: Unknown error 132
RTNETLINK answers: Unknown error 132

press your rfkill button.

I wish it was that simple :-(

I already tried it, but it does not help...
I get no reaction what so ever from pressing it...

The laptop is an Acer 5720G if that makes any difference...

Could it be that rfkill has been broken for my laptop ?

And why should I need to press rfkill now, when I didn't before ?
Has some kernel defaults changed since 2.6.30 series ?
