What's your kernel version? Is the switch on (ie, wireless is stopped) or off (ie, wireless is allowed) when the problem occurs? Is this hardware switch, or the Fn+F5 button your keyboard? Latest update seems to have resolved the problem. Must have been some user error. |
Description of problem: I am not sure of the correct component. But my current issue is that my t60p will not recognize wireless networks. I see the following in /var/log/messages: Oct 20 11:33:15 dhcp231-81 kernel: thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are disabled <snip> Oct 20 11:33:19 dhcp231-81 NetworkManager: <info> Found radio killswitch /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/ipw_wlan_switch Oct 20 11:33:19 dhcp231-81 NetworkManager: <info> eth0: driver is 'e1000e'.
