"wireless disabled in software"

[Timothy Murphy]

WiFi on my Thinkpad T60 has stopped working recently.
I'm running Fedora-15/KDE.

When I hover over the NetworkManager icon in the panel
I read "Disconnected   Wireless disabled in software"

I'm wondering who gives this message,
and what it means?

My WiFi card is Intel/PRO 3945ABG
The driver seems to be iwl3945.

I might mention that WiFi works fine on this machine
under Windows XP.
