<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; to the latest Rawhide and I&#39;m seeing a few issues.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; The primry one is that the Inetl 3945 has stopped working.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; It seems as thought the RF kill switch is permanently on.
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; I&#39;ve searched the web and there were 3 posted suggestions,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; none of which worked for me...<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; a) echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rf_kill
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; b) echo 0 &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/module/drivers/pci\:iwl3945/0000\:/0\:00.0/rf_kill<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; c) within the BIOS, disable the hot keys for RF/Bluetooth
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; No matter what I&#39;ve tried, knetworkmanager shows no wireless nodes,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; With Test 1, everything _was_ working.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; &gt; Suggestions anyone?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; I&#39;m on an Inspiron 9300 with a intel2915 chipset, so this may or may not<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; help.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; There&#39;s been some malarky with Network manager (moving from 
0.6.5 to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; 0.7.x) recently and while some of it has been resolved, issues still<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; seem to be there for 3945 users (from reading issues on this list) and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; some other chipsets.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt;
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; Also, I find that sometimes I need to go into the bios and reenable the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; wireless device and that simply hitting Fn&gt;F2 doesn&#39;t toggle the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; settings.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for the update.&nbsp;&nbsp;hopefully it gets resolved soon.
<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In my case, Fn-F2 doesn&#39;t do anything anymore in Rawhide except<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;complain about unknown keycodes, so even if it was off by default<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;now (despite what the /sys/class.../rf_kill option says), there
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is no way to turn it back on.<br><br>Out of interest, do you have one of these?<br><br>/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-dell-rfkill-switch.fdi</blockquote><div>&nbsp;</div></div><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
