Public bug reported:
Hi All, I have Dell Inspiron 1420 with BIOS version A10. I was using Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit and had no issue with Intel 3945ABG wireless card. Recently, I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit (fresh install) and this created the problem with wireless saying "Wireless disabled". I had the similar problem with Ubuntu 9.10 therefore shifted back to 9.04. After googling, found some similar issues which were telling to remove network-manager and install wicd. But still, WICD was not able to detect wireless and could able to scan the network only when network-manager was also present. One more weird thing was, wicd able to scan and detect wireless connections only when I connected the system with eth0 cable. After detection, I could unpluged the ethernet cable and start using wlan0 connection. Also tried by doing: sudo rmmod -f iwl3945 sudo modprobe iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420053 But it also not worked for me. After removing "dell-laptop" module and blacklisting the same, network- manager starts detecting the wireless connections. wicd also able to detect but sometimes starts asking authentication for startup (don't know why). My system is running with default kernel (ubuntu 2.6.32-21-generic) came with ubuntu 10.04. Could you please let me know, is there any patch available for this issue for ubuntu 10.04. Also, what could be the side-effects of removing dell-laptop module. Thanks. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [lucid lynx][dell-wifi] Wireless Disabled for iwl3945 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
