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

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,
Tpolich
