Comment 18 for bug 368553

Martin:

After installing this latest patch, my WiFi STOPPED working, saying something like
"iwlagn: rfkill switch must be turned off" in dmesg (alltough the rfkill switch definitely is ON)

I am sorry but cannot reproduce the correct message, since I reinstalled the whole system from scratch and applied all the available updates one by one in order to isolate the problem. My situation is as follows:
I installed Ubuntu Jaunty (64bit) from the live cd on a brand new Dell Vostro 1520.
Everything worked fine, including WiFi. Then I applied all available updates, and after rebooting, the wireless access did not work anymore.

So I decided to reinstall the system again and applying updates one by one. Now I have applied all of them (with wifi still working), except the following:
hal
libhal-storage1
libhal1

The currently installed version is 0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu1, the updated version would be 0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu3 for those 3 packages. If you can you point me to the source repository or to a description of the changes made, I could try to fix the problem and tell you what was wrong with the update.

One final question: is there any possibility to "revert back" from an updated package to an earlier version?
