           Summary: sometimes wireless network does not work
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.34.7-0.4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: network-wireless
        AssignedTo: drivers_network-wireless at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: fedevx at yahoo.com
        Regression: No


User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8)
Gecko/20100723 SUSE/3.6.8-1.3 Firefox/3.6.8

Sometimes, when I switch on my laptop (Aspire 4520) the wireless activity
indicator would blink (showing that the wireless adapter is on and that there
is some sort of activity going on). At this point, running:

iwlist wlan0 scan

returns no scan results, the problem is that the networks are there. If I then
press the wireless button, and run the same command again it will return the
actual list of available networks (at this point the blinking indicator, while
still blinking, looks somewhat as if the light was stronger. Does this make any
sense?).

Some other times, pressing the button does not make a difference and I'm forced
to run the command:

rfkill unblock all

As it would show that soft block was on.


-----------------------------
Linux zeus.olympus 2.6.34-12-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
-----------------------------

The same error happens on both x86 and x86_64. I'll post more details if I can
get some. Please let me know if you need more details about any particular
package version. Thanks



Reproducible: Sometimes
