Weird Wireless Issue

For the longest time I couldn't get my wireless working. I finaly figured it out and find myself confused as to why this works.

When I start my laptop up I get this

rfkill list all
    0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
no resualts

then if I press the wireless button on my computer (its already blue showing it's on) I get
rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
TONS OF NETWORKS

I am useing ath5k for a "Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)"

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get this working without hitting the button on the computer? Maybe an argument for the ath5k module?

Thank you for any help,
