It doesn't work this way here, But I think I know why, though I don't know how to fix, am an advanced user on Linux but I'm new and n00b on *BSD anyway on Linux I used the both available drivers ipw3945 and iwl3945 in both drivers rf_kill was getting the value 1 ( /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/00*/rf_kill or /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipl3945/00*/rf_kill ) and 1 means the radio is off SoftKill 2 is HardKill (The hard switch we have on the laptop), maybe the wpi is getting a softkill though I couldn't find the rf_kill anyone knows where I might find it??
