I'd like to have the duplicate status of this bug reviewed. With my
900A running Ubuntu 9.10 I get the same behavior as the reporter of this
bug.
I can successfully turn off the wireless by pressing the wireless switch
function key. The blue wireless LED goes out and Network Manager
disconnects.
Problem is, I can't turn the wireless back on. If I hit the function
key again the blue LED comes back on, but Network Manager can't find the
interface and it doesn't show up in ifconfig.
If I try to manually bring up the wlan0 interface with ifconfig I get
this error:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error
Here's some dmesg output:
ath5k phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
ath5k phy0: can't reset hardware (-5)
This behavior is different from that of Ubuntu 9.04 (wireless switch
does nothing - will not turn of wireless radio) and that of the bug
report that is linked to this one as a duplicate.
