Sounds like rfkill status is not properly reported at driver startup... same here on iwl3945 I have the same problem: $ lspci 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) Three similar reports, different drivers. This smells like a BIOS setup issue... Please check your BIOS settings for options related to enabling/disabling wireless at bootup and the like. Many laptops have configuration "features" that have caused similar issues in the past. the same laptop with F16 had no trouble at all, so I think that it is not connected to Bios.No issues also with Windows that had been blown away by Fedora :-) I will check anyway http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill rfkill list will give some idea whether its soft blocked by defualt rfkill list 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no I note that all ifcfg files that were stored in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices are now stored directly in /etc and no ifcfg-wlan0 is present. Is it correct?? another clue... When I try to switch off the card by hardware, immediately it is re-activated!! That is not true at boot-time Just after boot: [casper@blackbird ~]$ rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no After fix: [casper@blackbird ~]$ rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no There is no changes with kernel-3.3.4-1.fc17.x86_64 too. 0: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no When I try to switch off the card by hardware, immediately it is re-activated!! lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200/2nd Generation Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b4) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev b4) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev b4) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev b4) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM67 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller (rev 04) 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 82801 SATA RAID Controller (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 04) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc NI Whistler [AMD Radeon HD 6600M Series] 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 (rev 34) 03:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
