Here the driver is trying to remove the keys from the device but with
rfkill enabled it is not able to do so.

yes, as Johannes mentioned this is a new required step to get networking
back up after rfkill state changes.

It would be nice to get this from the upper layers, but the device can
do it also as it is getting the interrupt.
Could you please try the patch below? It will not send command to device
when rfkill is enabled and it will also print messages indicating that
rfkill state changed.

Subject: [PATCH] iwlagn: do not send key clear commands when rfkill enabled
Do all key clearing except sending sommands to device when rfkill
enabled. When rfkill enabled the interface is brought down and will
be brought back up correctly after rfkill is enabled again.
Same change is not needed for iwl3945 as it ignores return code when
sending key clearing command to device.
