iwn & Intel Centrino 6235

[Lars Schotte]

To me it looks like you had some hardware switch to shut that wlan off.

However, I do not see the problem with starting this iwn wifi card, I
have also an iwn wifi, so I know, that the problems start when you try
operating it. Like with 802.11n and so on.
