What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run networkselector
2. you press 1 for on/off lan card but nothing happens
3. pressing 5 it logout

FOR ME, IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN A ALGORITHM CAME IN A INFINITE LOOP, CAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO 
RUN THE DRIVER BY BOOTING WITH -S, IT STARTS THE LOOP AND NEVER ENDS.


What version of iwi are you using?
last iwi4965 with date of june 10

Use the getlogscommand (see downloads) script to capture the driver logs and post it here.

If you get a kernel panic (driver load or using networkselector):
- boot with option -s
- type sh etc/rc
- wait for the driver finish loading
- call networkselector
- take a picture of the screen and post it

No kernel panic, sometimes happens, but i turn my notebook off during the night and in the 
morning it boots without any kernel panics

my notebook features:
hp pavillion dv2660br (yeah, i`m a brazilian geek)
core 2 duo t5250
965 express chipset family (sata ahci ich8)
gma x3100
wireless card intel 4965agn

hi guys, a little strange thing happend: when i tried to connect to my wlan 
(associate) in network selector i got the same looping problem, that i posted above. 
When i checked out my wireless router, i saw that my 4965agn got connected with ( i 
think partly), it is a tp-link tl-wr541g, so i checked in dhcp clients and i saw that 
i got an ip but no client name, so, i don't know what happend, but i know that my 
wlan router reported the new client, so i think i could help whit this information.

thanks and congratulations for jalavoui and other guys who are working on this 
project.

some new system logs, analyzing them, another information that i've seen is that the 
on/off led doesn't work and the on/off card option in network selector doesn't work 
too. looking up on system logs, i could see that the problem could be in is with iwl4965_mac_hw_ as you can see in the log:
"iwl4965_mac_hw_scan enter"
"iwl4965_mac_hw_scan leave - not ready or exit pending"
AND
"trying to turn card off... don't work use kextunload"
AND
found:
"iwl4965: U iwl4965_irq_tasklet RF_KILL bit toggled to enable radio."
"iwl4965: U iwl4965_irq_tasklet RF_KILL bit toggled to disable radio."
"iwl4965: U iwl4965_irq_tasklet RF_KILL bit toggled to enable radio."
