Wireless doesn't work on an HP Pavillion DV6000 with an Intel 3945abg

Solution 1:

The interesting part of the trace is this:

iwl3945 0000:0b:00.0: Card state received: HW:Kill SW:On

As you also indicated - your rfkill list all results show no hardware/software kill switch issues.

I found this very similar report.

The suggestion was to replace network-manager with wicd (search in software center/synaptic).


There is a bug report for your card on launchpad.

The last entry in the bug report looks promising:

Create a file named config in /etc/pm/config.d/, by doing this:

gksudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/config

Add this line:

SUSPEND_MODULES="iwl3945".

Save and reboot.

Solution 2:

Ubuntu 12 corrects the problem.

*-network               
       description: Wireless interface
       product: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection

       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0

Slide the wireless switch to the right. Light alternates red/blue.
